Despite the traumatic experience, Sandra clarified that their main goal is not to have anyone fired but to hold the doctors accountable for their actions.

Sandra’s story has sparked a conversation online with people sharing their own experiences and concerns about the healthcare system. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and proper communication in medical settings.
