I had a bizarre visit today to a local little wee "country" hospital. I thought I would skipped the long wait times at the usual hospital I go to! Anytime you are pregnant and have RH neg blood ( and a hubby with positve) and you have a bleed of any sort including a miscarriage, then you need to get a shot. It protects future pregnancies. It stops my body from building anti-bodies. Anywho, my RE just said pop into emerg and get it, its only carried in emerg as its a blood product. Generally no matter what paper work you have, the hospital always draws yer bloood to make sure you are in fact RH Neg.
This hospital was weird, they asked me if I brought my own RhoGAM, um no thats why I am here, Do you have a prescription, um nooo thats why I am here. I got a series of questions that led me to think she had no clue. I asked if she preferred I go to another hospital that knows me or if i get a prescription. Finally the doctor says, well I guess i can take yer word on this, you cant get high from Rhogam so we will just give it to you. WTF?? Make me feel like shit! So then they DONT take my blood, they just believe me, and they hand me over a box of RhoGAM and were goign to send me on my way.....I was like UMMMMMMMMMMMM can someone give it to me...as I am not anurse??? LOL finally they gave it to me......... Why does weird stuff always happen to me? I cant beleive they just trusted me. Even in my own hospital where they had my records and I had a baby, they still draw the blood before hand to ensure I am RH neg. How bizarre
