I don't think he's asking for help or advice, it's just a really rough thing to have to tell someone and sometimes letting it out anonymously when normally he wouldn't be able to (confidentiality) can help ease the burden.
Good luck, MrPeppers. I don't envy your position here, but I respect it. --- DragonPick! - All this time and still not playing runescape ... Copied to Clipboard!

So I talked to the attending and he decided that we were going to do another ultrasound and some bloodwork just to have a reference, since the other ultrasounds were taken at an outside facility and they could potentially be wrong for a myriad of reasons. Those ultrasounds that she brought in did not look promising, though; and we're pretty sure it was an embryonal demise but we're playing it safe from a legal perspective.
Thankfully, we didn't have to break any bad news to her, but it was an emotionally intense situation. She kept pleading for us to make sure the baby was alive, and we had to explain to her that we can't really say one way or the other until we follow her for a few days. This woman had tears in her eyes and I started tearing up, but we kept a professional tone throughout the consultation. I was not expecting that today. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Leanaunfurled posted...OleBillyBoy225 posted...An embryo was never anything. What's the problem? They can, or most can, but like TC pointed out, it's a very quick and very deep emotional investment with most women. The moment they find out they're carrying, they see the embryo like anyone else sees a living, breathing child and planning for the future. So when that future is cut off before it can even begin, they can be devastated. --- Currently Playing: Trails of Cold Steel http://i.imgur.com/mfuN9AI.png http://i.imgur.com/nyP8pdG.jpg ...

When I was doing phelobotemy there is a blood draw that you have to do when a woman is at risk of having a miscarriage.
I remember I had to do that shot and I had to pretend that everything was ok while they both rubbed on her stomach holding each others hands comforting each other.

How was your first week as an intern otherwise, DrPeppers? Zembaphobia posted... I'm still in med school but I'm thinkin anesthesiology or emergency med with a fellowship in global health I'm in the same boat (minus the global health) :) I'm sweating bullets right now because I'm anticipating my Step 1 score to release next week. Finding out I didn't get a score good enough for anesthesia would be the worst news I've had in a while. I don't have reason to think that's the case (based off of my NBME averages), but damn that was a hard exam ;_; What year are you? U.S. student or otherwise?
