"Disappointed"

I was admitted in Blacktown Hospital late last year for my baby’s birth. I was presented to the birth unit after the water broke. In birth unit, labour pains were induced to me at around 8am. I delivered my baby at 6: 30 pm on same day. The delivery was completely normal, but with third degree perineal tear. What I believed is that this occurred only due to the negligence of staff members. I remember that there was not any registrar present in the birth unit at the time of delivery. Only paediatrician was there for baby. A young nurse with student nurse conducted the delivery. I felt there was a lack of proper management as I believe this tear could be prevented with episiotomy. I’m having a lot of complications due to this tear. I asked the doctors who were visiting me during post natal care, but they didn’t provided me satisfactory answer. I was completely disappointed. In my opinion, this could have been prevented with right decision at right time. I wanted to have painkiller to ease the labour pains, but my nurse was too busy and she didn’t come to my birth unit, even student nurse asked her to come several times. It was very disappointing and I am still in shock and that I believe they didn’t take right decision at right time and absence of any registrar still pinches me.
