I'm not sure what has been more annoying about my six miscarriages: the
physical pain, the heartbreak, the feeling of being the only person without
children or the amount of medical professionals in the New York City area that
have spent a considerable amount of time with my vagina. At this rate, counting
all the OBGYN's, specialists, nursing staff and the 30 odd people who decide to hang around the operating room for my D and C's, I'm easily at about 75 people. I had an ultrasound
the other day, when the (new) doctor came in with THREE nurses. It was the place to be! Everyone
crowding around, arms folded, chit chatting about this and that. We were a few
passed hors d'oeuvres and martinis short of a cocktail party.
What about all of you? What are your "secondary annoyances"? Is it
the "doctor shopping", hoping to find the one person that can crack
your case? Is it the endless hours of sitting in a paper gown waiting....and
waiting? Or is it hearing this: "Please bring all your medical records
prior to your appointment"? OK, I take back everything I just said, THAT is the
most annoying thing.
