health care adventure part 1

So two weeks ago Sunday morning at 2:05 am to be exact Kristin wakes up with an unbearable pain in her left side. I assume it's gas and get her various anti gas medication. A call to an on call doctor was less than helpful. She suggested it was found ligament pain(common pregnancy problem) or a kidney stone neither really fit the symptoms well. Well it wasn't gas or round ligament pain or even a kidney stone, all of which would probably be less painful. Monday afternoon she calls me after a brief lull in the pain to tell me the pain is back and it's time to go to the doctor. So I drive her to the hospital call her obstetrician to say she's in pain and dying (okay not dying but Kristin had made several request for a blow to the head to render her unconscious) ect. ect. So they take her in and do what obstetricians do and ultrasound her. They look at the babies and and measure there heads and look at their heart beats. It has determined that the babies are fine and were in no way involved in the pain. Now while they're sitting around bewildered she's literally vomiting because of the pain. So they send her up to the specialist, and they do what special obstetricians do best. . . ultrasound her with a really nice ultrasound. So they measure the babies heads and legs and finally after having to take unbearable pain breaks, they decide look at were the pain is coming from. This was after 30 min at the hospital the first attempt to actually diagnose the cause of the problem. So she finds this big gnarly looking blob. And they go back to looking at the babies. Then the doctor comes in and look at the blob and they turn on the Doppler ultra sound and see that the blob has no blood flow. Problems found. 1) Her ovary was the size of a orange 2) and most important it was twisted and had no blood flow. So they take her down to the recovery room because they were out of space and prepped her for surgery. And 3 hours after going to the hospital they finally give her something for the pain.
