Enough

I think it's pretty safe to say that we've had enough for now. I've had enough of experiencing what my patients have felt and I know poor Claire is ready for a good, long break.

I have worked for 12 years in the O.R's of labor and delivery, and for both of my children's births I experienced the O.R's from the patient perspective. During my many years in labor and delivery I've dealt with numerous patients who've had their babies whisked away through the NICU window, not knowing how their baby will do or if they will ever see them again. Well, I have now experienced the NICU world personally as well. During my two year hiatus from L&D I spent almost a year on the IV team at Primary Children's... And what would you know, I have now had the PCMC ER/numerous IV pokes on poor Claire/inpatient admit experience.  I can now honestly say I've experienced firsthand what so many of my patients have. And now I say... Enough. Poor sweet little Claire has had enough for now.
