Dr. Nisha Verma: There’s really difficult situations that we’re running into now too. I’ve had a patient who called as soon as she found at she was pregnant at like four-and-a-half, five weeks: as soon as she missed her period. But there was confusion with the schedulers, and by the time they got her in, because of the scheduling delay, she was past six weeks, and that also feels really devastating and just really sucks. She was an adolescent. She was a teenager; wasn’t able to get out of state because of parental consent laws, and her parents wouldn’t consent. She ended up having the baby, but it was just a scheduling issue that has completely changed this person’s life in addition to this terrible law. She had bad postpartum depression. She had to drop out of school. This completely changed her life in a way that was not her plan for herself. She loves her child, but this wasn’t what she wanted for herself. I think for me, you feel like you failed your patient even though we have to follow the laws. I think it’s been really hard to be in these situations where you feel like you’re failing your patient, and you’re the one that’s directly witnessing the suffering. You are the one that is seeing all of these stories that the politicians aren’t. I think that’s part of the frustrating thing is that the politicians aren’t the people in the room hearing the stories and seeing the suffering. I do think it takes a toll. I think as a doctor, you share small bits of that suffering, and I think there are days where you just feel like you’re drowning in it. And I think that gets tough.
