My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: Pennsylvania
When I was pregnant with my youngest daughter I found out that my boyfriend had chlamydia. I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant and had already been routinely tested for stds in my pregnancy which had come back negative. When I found out my boyfriend had something I told my doc and was retested. the results came back negative again and I asked how is that possible when he is postive for it and we were having unprotected sex. she said its very uncommon but it is negative. When my daughter was born she had conjuctivitis when she was 2 weeks old which is a symptom if the mother was positive for chlamydia during birth. I didnt think anything of it because I was tested and it was negative I just thought she got sick because of one of my other children. A few months after that i went to the health dept in my county to get checked because how is my boyfriend is postive and i am negative. In any matter the health dept came back with postive results and i was treated immediately.
it came to be that within our splitting up my boyfriend and I were both treated for it but the timing and our back and forth sexual relationship led to passing it back and forth. in june 2012 the boyfriend that gave me chlamydia was arrested and treated for it in jail. we had relations after he got out and the end of july 2012 i went to my OBGYN and got teste for everything. Everything came back negative. Something judt didnt feel right though and i swore i had something. I just let it go because my dr is a highly recognized ob in my area. When I began to see my new boyfriend I needed reassurance that I was negative for everything so i went to the health dept again. Turns out I am postive for chlamydia as I had suspected and told my dr months ago.
Is there any sort of case I can have against my obgyn? Thinking I was negative I could have passed this to a partner who could have passed it until it spread like wildfire. they not only endangered my daughter when i gave birth to her but more recently their false negatives could have caused an unnecessary spread of this disease.
