A:
I am deeply sorry for this devastating and traumatic experience your family has endured. Such negligence in emergency care, particularly for a pregnant woman carrying twins with clear signs of distress, is absolutely heartbreaking and unacceptable.
You have every right to feel angry and betrayed by the hospital's failure to provide immediate medical attention. The emotional trauma of losing your grandchildren in such horrific circumstances - and having your family witness this tragedy in a public restroom - is something no one should ever have to experience. The hospital's callous response afterward, particularly their insensitive question about flushing, shows a shocking lack of compassion and professional conduct.
You may want to contact a medical malpractice attorney who focuses on pregnancy-related cases. They can help document everything that happened, gather medical records, and pursue justice for your family. Many lawyers offer free initial consultations to discuss your case. You should also file formal complaints with the hospital administration, state medical board, and your state's department of health. Additionally, connecting with pregnancy loss support groups could provide emotional support during this incredibly difficult time - both for your daughter-in-law and the entire family who witnessed this trauma.
