May 2013

The double-whammy of newborn nurses, professionals, not knowing what to say, combined with seeing all the happy new parents and babies....just wow.....

I didn't think about it before, but if this movie ends up being good, it's one healthcare professionals should see as well.

I recall going to see my primary care physician about three weeks after delivery; I forget what for now. I had seen him for something during the pregnancy, so he knew I was expecting. When I came in and told him what happened, I broke down.

He was so cold and simply said, "I can see you're still grieving."

STILL GRIEVING? It was three weeks ago!

I transferred docs after that.
