Petrifying Experience
As an emergency room nurse, I once experienced extreme fear due to a pregnant patient. I was told she was in labor when she was brought here in a hurry at 4:30 AM. Twelve doctors and staff members came together to assist in moving equipment and getting ready for this emergency because we didn’t have enough time to get her to a maternity ward. Doctor to patient: Please prepare yourself by taking a few deep breaths. This will ache. Me: Tell her not to do it!
It will hurt since the baby isn’t there. She has been lying and pretending to be pregnant in order to stay with her spouse. We will need to pump her stomach because she consumed something that mimics the effects of labor. Although it will hurt, she will recover perfectly fine. She’s a really fortunate woman, and hopefully she’s grown up.”
