I’m so grateful for the way you’ve articulated this experience. I couldn’t put my rage into words about the way I was treated through 4 miscarriages; the kindness and compassion a novelty rather than a consistent standard of care. It’s so hard to say anything that can be seen as criticism of the healthcare system without being seen as ungrateful, but the compassion-fatigue and lack of understanding - bordering on hostility - I’ve experienced will stay with me for life. Your writing is exquisite. Thank you xx

I found that they were the worst in the worst moments. So handling the bad news, which is so counterintuitive! We got incredibly lucky with our recent clinic, which is our second when we ditched the first one. I have no complaints about my doctor there, she’s fantastic and treats me like a person who has experience and information, rather than dismissing me!
