They told me it's because PACU is a shared space but she is the only one in there. This makes no sense.

@MountSinaiNYC Waiting outside in the cold while my wife is alone being prepared for her nessecary c section. Is this what you wanted from your EO? @NYGovCuomo @melissadderosa @Dani_Lever @DoulaJesseP @HealthNYGov @jessemckinley @KatieVanSyckle @EmilyBobrow @irin

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

I should clarify. This was a scheduled c section. Both me and my wife tested negative for Covid yesterday. I don't want to put anyone else at risk. We have done all precautions to reduce risk. This policy only hurts me and my wife.

@melissadderosa @HealthNYGov @jessemckinley @Dani_Lever @KatieVanSyckle @EmilyBobrow @irin
Someone please hold @MountSinaiNYC accountable. They are not compliant to the EO or DOH directive. Tried to switch hospitals but can't at 38 weeks pregnant. C section next week.

And the story continues @MountSinaiNYC Wife is there (alone) nurses taking 2 hours to come see her for a question she had. My wife had a c section hasn’t slept and there is no nursery tonight, and you mean to tell me that it’s not worth it for partners to be there to help support

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@GMDavidson @MountSinaiNYC Did you ever hear from anyone at patient services? I just tried calling them for my wife on Monday. They are looking into it and will get back to me. Seems like they don't even know their policies.

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@NYGovCuomo @melissadderosa @NYCMayorsOffice
Is this the experience that you wanted for people in NYC hospitals when you wrote your EO? This is a father who tested negative the day before. This policy is harming no one in the hospital but his wife. I will be there Monday.

[Greg Davidson @GMDavidson]

@MountSinaiNYC .....this was an issue of communication that was not clear, mixed messages, and mixed signals through what already is an exciting yet frightening experience. As a top tier hospital during these uncertain times, this needs to be better

@TulsiPa32776452 @AnnieMackNY @DoulaJesseP @NYGovCuomo @HealthNYGov @melissadderosa @KatieVanSyckle @irin @DrShuffrey @MountSinaiNYC The last EO started as an advisory. Currently @MountSinaiNYC is not allowing support persons in PACU because it's a shared space, even though they are testing women and their support person. All article 28 settings should include all areas of the hospital including postpartum.

It is a scary time to either give or receive obstetric care in NYC. “I’ve never been so dependent on such shaky data to make what are fundamentally life-or-death decisions" @neel_shah told me @NewYorker https://t.co/lUJXFAzVxy

@TulsiPa32776452 @DrShuffrey @melissadderosa @nyphospital @NYGovCuomo Thank you!

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

This is why hospitals are not allowing dad's to visit. Please don't be selfish. You risk getting the nursing staff and doctors sick. This puts my wife and baby at risk and makes it so I am not allowed to be there. #mybirthpartner https://t.co/W7ex6AZiRU

@TulsiPa32776452 @DrShuffrey @melissadderosa @nyphospital @NYGovCuomo Where can we go to file a complaint?

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@MichaelleSolage @NYGovCuomo

@MountSinaiNYC is only allowing people to stay 2 hours postpartum. This is not inline with the EO

@melissadderosa @nyphospital Still waiting for this revision! It’s critical moms have support on the postpartum wards w/ recovery & caring for their babies. Nurses do not have the bandwidth to provide 1:1 support. This will also reduce risk of COVID exposure from healthcare workers to moms/babies @NYGovCuomo

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@AnnieMackNY @Ic3m6n @DoulaJesseP @irin @GManMovieReview @melissadderosa @MountSinaiNYC @NYGovCuomo @Dani_Lever @nyulangone I agree! I live over the river in NJ but was told if I go to a NJ hospital and say I was in NYC they would put mommy and baby in separate isolations. That seems even less safe.

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@Goldnkash @GManMovieReview @melissadderosa @MountSinaiNYC I was told 2 hours by my OB. Normal c section stay is 3-4 days. They are discharging after 24 hours for natural birth and 48 hours for c section to get people home sooner.

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@MichaelleSolage @NYGovCuomo @MountSinaiNYC @nyphospital Thank you! It appears @MountSinaiNYC has interpreted "immediate postpartum" as 2 hours after birth. @melissadderosa said it was intended to include all recovery.

[Kyle Schueckler @schueckl]

@DoulaJesseP @Ic3m6n @AnnieMackNY @irin @GManMovieReview @melissadderosa @MountSinaiNYC @NYGovCuomo @Dani_Lever @nyulangone I tried to switch hospitals and no OB would take us because she is 36 weeks and high risk. I am just nervous about her trying to take care of a baby after c section (which might need to be done under general anesthesia)
