Thank you for this poem of truth and vulnerability. Every gyn/ob should have this as required reading. As women we are taught from childhood of the sacredness of our womb. To let someone especially a stranger enter the depths of our life giving portal is an honor and a very confusing message from our body to our brain at best. You were right to find a new doctor.

You need to change your care to another doctor, Emma, because her reaction to your pain is totally unacceptable. Her “care” isn’t a bit caring.

Thank you, Deborah, I did change doctors after this happened. I agree, there was no care in her caring in that situation.
