Bereavement

Hospital gave me the bad news then hung up!

Recently I have just had my second miscarriage. I am horrified by the lack of patient care at the hospital. Having had a pregnancy of unknown location I had to have three blood tests over the course of a week. When I rang to get the results I was told "Your pregnancy hormone is down to zero. There is nothing else we need to do for you. Bye." Isn't that terrible?

Luckily I went to see my GP who was very understanding and said the right things.

Rant over.
