    My question involves malpractice in the state of: Georgia.......I need to know if they can give a newborn baby methadone when you tell them not to...Also they tested my baby for drugs and she was clean but said she had NAS.....So they said she would have to be medicated and told me a list of medicine including methadone and three other drugs.....I asked them not to give her methadone and they went behind me anyway....also the methadone they gave her made her oxygen levels drop and they had to blow in her mouth till the cardiovascular doctor arrived.....they treated us like drug addicts and would not let us see her unsupervised until our drug tests came back clean then they acted like nothing ever happened
    Did you use drug while you were pregnant ? Are you on Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

    You can talk to an attorney. But, there is nothing you can do about the doctors treating your baby. Or the way they treated you.

    I think NAS can occur even if moms drug test appears clean
    You nay be right. If I remember correctly the drugs do not clear the unborn child's system the way it does the mothers.
