Needs To Have Another Baby Talk
Hospital, Ignoring & Inattentive, Jerk, Nurses, USA | Healthy | April 10, 2019
(My husband and I are very excited to expect our first child, but we sadly lose the baby just before Christmas. I am scheduled for a D&C the next day. The nurse takes me back to the bed to get changed and this happens.)
Nurse: “When was your last menstrual period?”
Me: “Uh… like three months ago?”
Nurse: *handing me a cup* “Okay, the bathroom is right in there; we’re going to need a urine specimen.”
Me: “That’s really not…”
Nurse: “When you come back, put on the gown, opening in front, and put all your clothes in this bag.”
(She heads off to do something else.)
Husband: “Does she not know why you are here?”
(My urine sat on a table for the next three hours until I was wheeled into the operating room. I did not see that nurse again the entire time I was there, and everyone else was smart enough to offer condolences instead of asking me to take a bloody pregnancy test!)
