I often find myself at a loss when I have a pt in the ED who is told she is having a miscarriage. I don't know what to say, what's right, other than "I'm sorry".
Any advice? Words of wisdom?
I have been trying to steer clear of them lately though. I feel it would be wrong for an 8month pregnant lady to come in with discharge paperwork with the words "miscarriage" on it- talk about a slap in the face. :stone
