Sometimes, I cringe. I cringe when I hear stories about birth trauma. I cringe when someone contacts me with yet another story of doctor incompetence resulting in physical and emotional harm. I especially cringe when the doctor that woman tells me about was the doctor who delivered me into my own personal hell. I wonder if this doctor knows the impact she has on some of her patients. The impact of her decisions, especially poor ones, on the individual women who she assisted during delivery and cared for postpartum. The physical and emotional scarring from a doctor who I view as callous and without empathy. I wonder, how many women have left her practice due to her incompetence, and then, I wonder, how many still remain? I cringe.
Thanks for reading,
