Dear Hospital,

Dear Hospital where I had my D&C A YEAR AGO (who will remain unnamed on the internet),

I truly hate you.. I had a horrible experience at your hospital when I was there for my D&C. I understand that emergencies happen, and things get delayed and I completely understand that. However, when the delay magically got "resolved" once my Dr threatened to send me to another hospital, I see that I was clearly just not your priority.. Apparently live births make more money than miscarriages, so I was getting bumped.. until you realized you might not get my money at all. Oh and that free sandwich from the cafeteria that you offered my husband to try to make up for our troubles.. almost made up for the complete and total emotional wreck you had me turned into. Its totally OK that I was seconds away from ripping out my own IV and going to a different hospital, since you gave us a sandwich..

I had almost let it go.. I was certainly never going to go back there, especially not to deliver my baby but I TRIED to stop cringing whenever I hear someone else is going there..

Today however, you have COMPLETELY pissed me off again to the point that if I was not having a baby in Four days, I would be calling and bitching you out..

You see, ONE YEAR LATER, is not an appropriate time to send me a letter to tell me about your "pregnancy loss support group" that no one bothered to tell me about when I was AT YOUR hospital. No, I do NOT "accept your sincere sympanthy on my loss" and I don't really need your letter to remind me that that "After suffering a pregnancy loss you may experience many emotions from sadness to anger, loss and guilt." The fact does not escape me that this letter is actually just a thinly veiled advertisement about a local study on recurrent miscarriage and baby aspirin.. just in case I might still be struggling to get and/or stay pregnant.. I think everyone who has had a miscarriage in this area already knows about the study. There are flyers in every OB/GYN and REs office, and its been in the local pennysavers/bees all the time.I ts been running for over a year now, but they are obviously having trouble finding participants, probably because they want you to freeze your first morning urine every day.. I can't imagine why THAT would be hard to get people to do. I am not THAT offended that you sent me the information about the study, but perhaps not waiting a YEAR to send me your sincere sympathy and information on your support group might have been a better start..

So hospital, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you to go fuck yourself. Seriously.

Sincerely.
Melissa
