Really bad experience

Never in my life have I come across such an uncompassionate medical scheme. I am currently in hospital waiting to be treated and my gynaecologist wants to keep me overnight for observation because of the bleeding. Medshied refuses to authorize the stay because of their lousy processes that can't even be overwritten no matter how dire the situation is. It seems at this point I need to bleed until something happens to my baby before someone at medshied uses their head and realize that this is a human being and I could lose my child. To think I switched from discovery to them, I honestly thought they are the best little did I know it would be out of the frying pan into the fire.
