Our daughter was born overseas in the Azores. The hospital had to turn on the lights and open the maternity ward just for us. Our daughter had complications and received personal attention. They called the OB/GYN out of the base theater a couple of blocks away. And the Pediatrician stayed for days working with our daughter. It was amazing to watch Dr. Key putting an IV in her scalp with tears in his eyes. A few days later there were two other mothers on the ward.

You were fortunate
My son was born at Tripler Army hospital in Hawaii and they damn near killed both of us with incomptence
Thank God an Air Force osteopath just happened to be called in that morning
He told me weeks later on a follow up visit ( to check my lungs for the pneumonia thay failed to catch) that mine was the most profound case of preeclampsia he had ever saved
I do believe my son suffered life long effects of the experience
Subtle but ultimately deadly
