Horrible Delivery...

I gained 2 much weight with my pregnancy.At the end I was so swollen I could barely walk.I went to my dr complained that something wasn�t right.Im told its nothing and 2 go 2 the hospital the next day as early as possible.I go and I am told that I have preeclampsia and must deliver my baby induce me.My daughter was born and my placenta had 2 be manually removed.My placenta had tied itself in knots connecting 2 my insides.After a few hours I am woken up and moved 2 an exam room.Im told 2 move 2 the next bed and the nurse tells me that no one changed any of my clothing or sheets and I have been sleeping in afterbirth for hours. I still had the epidural line in my back.My doctor didn�t come for days despite me being told he was called many times due 2 complications.He comes Sat and signed me out without even checking me.He told me 2 come 2 his office Mon.I do this for 6 weeks.He never even checked me he just asked how I felt.I said I had severe headaches, speech problems, my milk won�t come out.He told me 2 drink water, and gave me regulane for the milk.I was later told that regulane is no longer used for that because it can cause milk to dry up and that�s what it did. Istill feel horrible and still have the problems.What can I do?
