Because any thing less than severe than that isn’t worth mentioning? Way to right off your patient’s concerns. Now get either some sensitivity training or a new job. Either would be fine.

Or “write off.” I should maybe make sure I’m fully awake before I go and make a comment.

:O How RUDE!!!

This is one of those moments you figure the patient just stared at the practitioner because the response doesn’t even make sense.

Is it really possible that someone can be this stupid and not forget how to breathe?

Wow … is that the new way to ask “Did I do such a piss-poor job at your birth that you now have a fistula?” Jeeeeez.

this took me several minutes to figure out what she meant, its such a WRONG way to answer the question! I was unable to rest normally after birth due to being in the NICU in a wheelchair and ended up tearing 3 stitches, I had to ask my midwife to come to the hospital to check me because it hurt a lot more down there than I thought it should after a few days. I don’t think a woman would question her healing unless she had reason to think something might be wrong!
