According to her, the ordeal left her with emotional scars, adding that she had to undergo therapy to cope with the lingering “what ifs.”
“My kidney failed, my heart became weak, my liver, everything was just shutting down. She had detached from the placenta; if I was a second late, she would have lost oxygen, and I would have had a stillbirth.
” Every time I look at her, I just say ‘what if’. That word tormented me; what if the doctor wasn’t attentive?
“What if the nurse didn’t do her due diligence? It haunted me for a while, I had to get therapy to walk me through being grateful”,
