Need Some Protective Services From That Nurse
Doctor/Physician, Hospital, Jerk, Nurses, USA, Washington | Healthy | August 30, 2018
(I’ve just had my first child. I went into labor at night and he was born just after midnight. My boyfriend manages to get the next morning off, but as he’s the assistant manager of a dock, he has to go in the next afternoon. I’m not worried, as there’s not much concern for me or my son. The next day, my OBGYN comes in.)
Doctor: “Hey, [My Name], how are you feeling?”
Me: “Still sore. Is everything all right?”
Doctor: “Oh, yeah. I just want to let you know that a nurse wanted me to call Child Protection Services for you.”
(I freak out a bit, but he laughs.)
Doctor: “Don’t worry; I won’t. Apparently, because of your boyfriend having to go to work, she didn’t think you guys were capable of taking care of your son. It’s pretty stupid.”
(I relaxed after that. My son came home a day later and, with some help from friends, we had no problems with taking care of him.)
