WVU Medicine — Local services in Morgantown

I don’t normally share this kind of stuff because it is medical but I feel like at this point I’m unsure of what else to do. This is my currently experience with WVU medicine (Reedville,WV) and Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. Yesterday I went for a routine check at my midwife, the day started normal but at my appointment I soon felt like I was going to pass out, but not just once but THREE SEPARATE TIMES all while my midwife was in the room trying to help me, at the end I was sitting on the floor vomitting into a bucket. (I also now know that they did not chart or even note that this incident occurred in the office) my husband had to come pick me up after the NST test they ran and my midwife said if it happens even one more time to go to the birthing center at Ruby Memorial, well not long after getting home it happens again while I’m laying in bed, so as the midwife said we pack up and head to the hospital, along the way it happens TWICE MORE in the car, I almost pass out and am left dry heaving into a bag. We finally arrive after the hour car ride, and AGAIN I almost pass out while standing at the check in counter for L&D, they place me in a wheelchair and into a room. Where in the room AGAIN I almost feel like passing out two more times during the stay. They ran a blood test and a urinalysis but come back saying every thing is “just fine” and “normal”, and that my baby on the monitor is just fine and even though I’m still having the feeling of verging on passing out that I’m just a mystery, they chalked it up to that I must not have eaten enough, even though I had a full breakfast and even a full lunch THAT THEY WATCHED ME EAT and discharged me. Reminder I’m STILL feeling like I’m going to pass out multiple times. But at least they offered me a wheelchair for my husband to wheel me out in. I continued to almost pass out for rest of yesterday and into this morning. They want to induce me at 39 weeks for unrelated things but to be honest I no longer feel safe being induced at a hospital that sends patients homes while they are actively verging passing out, especially since two times yesterday I almost fell and had I not managed to sit down first I could have fallen and seriously injured my baby and myself. I truly feel like if I allow them to induce me there that something really bad is going to happen especially since they won’t even listen to me now. I explained also that this was not just a one off, the other day I also felt like I was going to pass out at home, I called my doctors office and they said they would pass the message along to the nurse who never called me back. I also have had days occasionally starting in my second trimester where I felt like passing out randomly, I mentioned it to my old OBGYN in Huntington who was slightly more concerned but only if it persisted. But yesterday was the worse it has EVER been. I have never had an entire day of just almost passing out over and over again, normally it has been isolated incidents that don’t reoccur close together so I assumed it was just a blood sugar drop or high blood pressure. I just don’t feel safe at Ruby Memroial and I’m unsure what to do at this point, as I’m not being listened to, I also went into my chart to see what they noted which is when I found they didn’t chart the incident at my clinic at all, and at the hospital they didn’t chart it as almost passing out just “not feeling good”. It was much more than not feeling good, I was faint, breaking out in a sweat, nauseous and weak. They also didn’t chart the symptoms that occurred just “feeling off”, they charted I denied feeling feverish even though I was breaking out in the sweats each time. It all just seems so backwards and wrong that they didn’t even listen to my symptoms or even worse that they did listen and actively chose not to chart them and...

I gave wvu medicine children's a second chance after losing my son at 6 months 4 days old here due to getting hypertension with down syndrome and being blamed as my eggs are to blame according to wvu medicine children's this was 2021 and 2022 also ended up with hypertension and diabetes which they didn't treat me and . In 2024 I was pregnant with triplets and it was frowned upon with wvu children's first visit they talked about miscarriages I ended up with a sch sac and they didnt montier me closely I ended losing 3 babies . This year I had a single pregnancy just last week I was at valley health in winchester va baby had a heart beat of 168 everything was perfect while today I go in and ultrasound tech had difficulty doing scan and goes to get doctor to redo scan which he didn't brother to do scan even after ultrasound technician who had difficulties to confirm her findings as she was unsure instead he pushes me off to gentics which goes back to my son I loss in 2022 due to hypertension after not getting his heart surgery sooner due to down syndrome heart defect she doesn't know my history as my specialty fertility clinic does and says I need to do day 5 emybros with pgta testing as my previous history woth down syndrome. My fertility clinic had done many test just to make judgements before redoing a scan to confirm what the ultrasound tech was unsure of to make it postive loss and push us off on gentics after we were told the doctor was coming to do scan is very unprofessional. To be told by gentics they expect everything to be 100 percent perfect and normal without knowing your history or what's truly going on today with unclear explanation or answers its way beyond unprofessional from wvu medicine children's I beyond upset as I've even reached out to my fertility doctor who cant believe they had a gentics person from there infertility clinic in obgyn area to tell me what I need to do as they have no knowledge of my history to even push fir a day . Emybro with pgta testing which doesn't prevent miscarriage as she explained to go to pass loss even with the changes my fertility clinic made we ruled out down syndrome this round. How im feeling is not very good I cant give wvu another chance at this as I've had enough with discrimination toward my son with down syndrome who passed away there and even being told you have to be normal or baby needs to be normal which is wrong and discrimination and disrespectful as not everyone has perfect health and there are kids with disabilities it doesn't make them any less of a human its definitely not a place i can tolerate living with my...

Meh. We saw Dr. Grant in pediatric orthopaedics today. It took an hour after being taken back to be seen by him. Not easy waiting like that with a 2 year old after driving 2 and a half hours for the appointment and making sure we got there on the early side of what’s allowed right now. The room was very clearly dirty. The walls and the table had obvious dirt and grime. Not exactly a place you want to sit for an hour with a young child that wants to touch everything during a pandemic. The bathrooms were the same and also had no trash cans in the stalls for feminine products. Considering this is supposed to be the best place in the state to go to I was disappointed in how dirty and grimey the facility is and how we were treated by the nurse. The nurse who took us back was very short with us and almost gave off a vibe like she was annoyed we were there. I know medical staff is stretched so thin right now, and I truly hate that they are, but it was still kind of frustrating to immediately be met with that after driving so far to get there. Dr. Grant was very nice and patient with our son though. He was super antsy after sitting in the car for so long and then for another hour waiting to be seen, but Dr. Grant just worked with him how it worked for my son and never seemed frustrated to do it that way. He also quadruple checked to make sure we had any and all questions we could think of answered and then made sure I was sure I had no other questions. I very much appreciated that since our son doesn’t need a follow up, but has some specific things we need to watch for to know if he does need to...
