More details to this question:
I delivered a baby naturally before doctor got to hospital. When he got there he did an episiotomy. He claims he injected numbing medication but it hurt like nothing I've felt before. I was screaming like an animal being sacrificed. My doula and husband asked him if he could wait for medication to work. He said "why? That's why she should have taken epidural " My doula asked him for compassion and he ignored her. His student male assistants were holding my legs so strongly I couldn't move myself. I kep screaming and asking "Why?" When he finished he smiled and said "well, you had it your way"

I am confused. If you had already delivered the child, why was there an episotomy at all? That stated, absent some large damages there simply is not enough to support a malpractice claim. You can try making complaint to the riskmanagment of the hospital or the medical board from an ethical perspective - but thats about as far as this will go unless you want to spend tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket to pursue the issue on principle.
