Came
to
this
office
at
159
E53rd
st
for
a
few
appointments
during
my
first
pregnancy.
At
first
building
seemed
new
and
clean
and
staff
seemed
good.
Not
specially
caring
but
attentive
enough.
On
my
first
scan
I
was
told
that
they
couldnāt
see
the
fetal
pole
and
I
should
go
back
in
two
weeks,
which
I
did.
This
time
it
was
a
new
team,
which
itās
not
ideal
to
me,
but
I
was
aware
from
the
start
that
they
do
a
roster.
I
was
told
this
time
that
they
saw
the
fetal
pole
but
couldnāt
hear
the
babyās
heart,
which
made
the
viability
of
the
pregnancy
inconclusive
again.
Thatās
when
the
nightmare
started.
I
scheduled
an
appointment
a
week
later,
which
would
coincide
with
my
birthday.
I
picked
that
date
because
it
was
the
earliest
time
to
get
a
proper
confirmation,
it
would
be
a
Friday
,
and
I
didnāt
want
to
go
through
the
anxiety
of
not
knowing
for
a
whole
other
weekend.
By
midweek
I
received
a
notification
that
they
had
changed
my
appointment
to
a
date
earlier
than
the
one
recommended
b
the
doctors,
and
whithout
consulting
me.
I
called
and
they
had
already
booked
someone
on
the
day
I
was
supposed
to
come
initially,
so
they
would
try
to
get
me
an
appointment
for
the
following
week
(where
I
would
going
to
4
weeks
of
waiting
for
a
confirmation
of
viability)
after
calling
many
times
during
the
whole
week
and
speaking
with
multiple
people,
I
was
finally
able
to
get
ahold
of
the
medical
secretary
last
minute.
She
was
the
one
who
had
booked
me
in
the
first
placed
and
was
very
nice,
remembered
me
and
was
able
to
book
me
for
the
next
day.
I
arrived
there
in
the
morning,
nervous
and
hopeful
and
was
called
to
the
ultrasound
by
a
woman
who
had
the
worst
bedside
manners.
She
barely
looked
at
us,
was
silent
and
grumpy
the
entire
time.
Whenever
I
asked
her
questions
she
would
say
āI
can
not
tell
youā.
She
left
the
room
and
came
back
saying
she
couldnāt
tell
me
anything
that
the
doctor
would
talk
to
me
but
that
āit
didnāt
change
much.
This
is
all
I
can
tell
youā.
After
waiting
sometime
outside,
worried
but
trying
to
keep
hopes
up,
we
went
to
the
doctors
appointment.
We
sat
side
by
side
hugging,
cause
we
were
a
bit
nervous.
The
doctor
walked
in
saying
āIām
sorry
to
meet
you
under
these
circumstancesā,
and
then
she
realized
nobody
had
told
us
anything,
and
started
asking
āwait,
what
do
you
know?ā
After
confirming
had
a
missed
miscarriage
she
seemed
to
feel
bad
about
assuming
that
we
knew,
she
apologized
but
didnāt
give
much
information,
seemed
rushed
and
said
she
would
send
me
a
message
later
to
give
me
a
call
for
further
instructions.
We
were
so
in
shock
with
everything
that
at
the
moment
we
didnāt
have
much
reaction.
The
whole
appointment
seemed
like
a
business
transaction
gone
wrong
and
the
empathy
seemed
fake
and
just
an
attempt
to
make
us
go
away
after
the
awkward
encounter
āletās
get
you
out
of
hereā.
I
donāt
want
to
go
back
to
NYUA
OB-gyn
for
any
procedure,
or
have
any
calls
to
discuss
anything.
They
turned
an
already
traumatic
event
which
is
a
miscarriage
into
an
extremely
careless
and
even
more
traumatic
experience.
I
received
the
worst
care
on
a
super
sensitive
moment,
on
the
day
of
my
birthday,
which
they
were
all
aware
as
there
was
a
little
cake
by
my
birth
date
in
the
computer.
I
will
never
forget
that
horrible
experience.
