Patient
I left the OB/GYN department feeling utterly retraumatized and heartbroken. I went in seeking help for a deeply personal and sensitive health issue, but the nurse didn't understand and treated me coldly, making me feel invisible and dismissed. The doctor seemed unprepared and unfamiliar with my situation, didn't provide the form I came for, and simply referred me elsewhere. I left in tears, feeling unheard, humiliated, and more vulnerable than when I arrived. No one should have to leave a medical appointment feeling this way. Please, if you need care for a sensitive or trauma related issue, find a provider who is truly compassionate, informed, and able to handle these matters with care.
