Patient rights violation.
This happened about 5 years ago. I'm not sure if anything can be done now.
I was giving birth to my fourth child. My water had broke and I give birth rather quickly so this time around I was unable to have any medication.
The nurse came in to check my cervics I was in a lot of pain and told her not to because I was having a contraction. I had at the time 3 other children and know nurses know better not to check you during a contraction. She did it anyway and I started screaming in pain of course I yelled at her to stop. She didn't listen I began kicking her to get her off me and she just shoved her hand even harder down in that region against my will. At the time I was going to school full time I was also going through a divorce and had 3 other children to take care of. It was a very stressful time in life so I didn't take action. I'm kicking myself though. The care from this nurse was horrible! Is there anything that can be done now? I also wonder if I would have reported it if it would have been taken seriously.
