When I look\u00a0 back I\u00a0 get\u00a0 surprised\u00a0\u00a0 how\u00a0 much\u00a0 I\u00a0 have\u00a0 learned\u00a0 from my patients.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0 true\u00a0 sense\u00a0\u00a0 they\u00a0 are\u00a0\u00a0 my\u00a0 heroes.<\/p>\n
One\u00a0 patient\u00a0 really\u00a0 stand out.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 was\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 working\u00a0\u00a0 with\u00a0 OB\u00a0 department\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 come\u00a0 across\u00a0 this 33<\/p>\n
years\u00a0 old\u00a0 pregnant\u00a0 female.<\/p>\n
This\u00a0 was\u00a0\u00a0 her\u00a0 3rd\u00a0 child,\u00a0 very\u00a0 smart \u00a0 very\u00a0 compliant,\u00a0 no\u00a0 smoke\u00a0 or\u00a0 alcohol,<\/p>\n
very\u00a0 concerned\u00a0\u00a0 always\u00a0 have lot\u00a0 of\u00a0 questions\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 about\u00a0 her\u00a0 child”s\u00a0 well being.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 felt\u00a0 she\u00a0 was\u00a0 stressed\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 I\u00a0 told\u00a0 her\u00a0 to be happy\u00a0 and\u00a0 peaceful\u00a0 to\u00a0 have\u00a0 a\u00a0 healthy child.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 told\u00a0 me\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 she\u00a0\u00a0 got married\u00a0 to\u00a0 his\u00a0 brothers\u00a0 best\u00a0 friend.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0 fact my\u00a0 brother\u00a0 wanted\u00a0 me\u00a0 to marry\u00a0 him, I\u00a0 loved\u00a0 him\u00a0 so much\u00a0 and\u00a0 I\u00a0 agreed.<\/p>\n
It\u00a0 was\u00a0 OK\u00a0 marriage,\u00a0 till\u00a0 my\u00a0 brother\u00a0 died \u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 my\u00a0 husband\u00a0\u00a0 become\u00a0 more\u00a0 and\u00a0 more abusive.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 harder\u00a0 I\u00a0 tried\u00a0 to please\u00a0 him\u00a0 worse\u00a0 things\u00a0 got.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 was\u00a0 contemplating\u00a0 divorce till\u00a0 I\u00a0 discovered\u00a0 I\u00a0\u00a0 was\u00a0 pregnant.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0 is\u00a0 a\u00a0 great\u00a0 father,\u00a0 but\u00a0\u00a0 he\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 worse\u00a0 possible\u00a0 husband and\u00a0 source\u00a0 of\u00a0 her\u00a0 stress.<\/p>\n
I met her\u00a0 husband\u00a0 and\u00a0 2\u00a0 kids,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 nice man\u00a0 and\u00a0 wonderful\u00a0 kids.<\/p>\n
I advised\u00a0 her\u00a0 to\u00a0\u00a0 go back\u00a0 to\u00a0 school\u00a0 and\u00a0 complete\u00a0 her nursing\u00a0 degree\u00a0 , she\u00a0 already<\/p>\n
had\u00a0 completed\u00a0\u00a0 most\u00a0 of\u00a0 her credits\u00a0\u00a0 that\u00a0 will\u00a0 be\u00a0 good\u00a0 for\u00a0 her\u00a0 and\u00a0 her\u00a0 kids.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 felt\u00a0 she \u00a0 had\u00a0 low\u00a0 self esteem\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 lack\u00a0 self\u00a0 confidence.<\/p>\n
After\u00a0 delivery\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0 lost\u00a0 contact\u00a0 with\u00a0 her.<\/p>\n
Around\u00a0 200\u00a0\u00a0 she\u00a0 came\u00a0 to see\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to\u00a0 my\u00a0 family\u00a0 practice\u00a0 office.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 could\u00a0 not\u00a0 recognize\u00a0 her at\u00a0 first, looked\u00a0 lot\u00a0 older than\u00a0 her stated\u00a0 age.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 told\u00a0 me\u00a0 she\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 completed\u00a0\u00a0 her\u00a0 nursing\u00a0 degree\u00a0 and\u00a0 working\u00a0\u00a0 full\u00a0 time<\/p>\n
and\u00a0 love\u00a0 her\u00a0 job.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 wanted\u00a0\u00a0 clonazepam\u00a0 for\u00a0 anxiety\u00a0 whet she\u00a0 was\u00a0 getting\u00a0 from\u00a0 previous\u00a0 PCP\u00a0\u00a0 who\u00a0 closed\u00a0\u00a0 his practice.<\/p>\n
On\u00a0 further\u00a0 investigation\u00a0 I\u00a0 discovered\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 her marriage\u00a0 is\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 very\u00a0 bad\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 husband\u00a0 is\u00a0 very\u00a0 abusive.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0 is\u00a0 a\u00a0 beast.\u00a0 I\u00a0 jokingly said\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 why\u00a0 not\u00a0 turn into\u00a0 princess\u00a0 and\u00a0 kiss\u00a0 the\u00a0 beast\u00a0 and\u00a0 he\u00a0 will\u00a0 turn into\u00a0 prince .<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 got\u00a0 upset,\u00a0 and\u00a0 said\u00a0\u00a0 you\u00a0 are\u00a0 telling\u00a0 me\u00a0 that\u00a0 it\u00a0 is\u00a0 all\u00a0 my\u00a0 fault.<\/p>\n
I apologize\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 asked\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 if\u00a0 she feels\u00a0 that\u00a0 it\u00a0 is\u00a0 all\u00a0 his\u00a0 fault.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 replied\u00a0 yes.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 said\u00a0 if\u00a0 he\u00a0 is\u00a0\u00a0 100%\u00a0 wrong\u00a0 she\u00a0 should\u00a0 feel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 fine\u00a0 because\u00a0 it\u00a0 is not\u00a0 her\u00a0 fault.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 am\u00a0 not\u00a0 fine\u00a0 I\u00a0 am\u00a0 the\u00a0 victim\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 suffering\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 don’t\u00a0\u00a0 know what\u00a0 to\u00a0 do.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 asked\u00a0\u00a0 if\u00a0 you two\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 went\u00a0 for\u00a0 counseling.\u00a0 Many\u00a0 times\u00a0\u00a0 she\u00a0 replied.<\/p>\n
But\u00a0\u00a0 no\u00a0 result\u00a0\u00a0. He\u00a0\u00a0 manipulate\u00a0 in\u00a0 such a\u00a0 way\u00a0 that\u00a0 every body\u00a0 thinks\u00a0 it\u00a0 is all\u00a0 my\u00a0 fault.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 gave\u00a0 her\u00a0 work\u00a0 book\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 asked\u00a0\u00a0 to\u00a0 fill\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 empty\u00a0 spaces\u00a0\u00a0 in that \u00a0 book\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 keep\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 diary\u00a0 for\u00a0 1\u00a0 to 2\u00a0 months.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 came\u00a0 back\u00a0 after\u00a0 2\u00a0 months\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 I\u00a0 was\u00a0 shocked\u00a0 how\u00a0 much\u00a0 work\u00a0 she\u00a0 have\u00a0 done.<\/p>\n
She\u00a0 left\u00a0 everything\u00a0 with me\u00a0\u00a0 to\u00a0 go\u00a0 through.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0 could\u00a0 not\u00a0 believe\u00a0 her\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 life\u00a0 story.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0 admire her\u00a0 honesty\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0 openness.<\/p>\n
