I'm a psych nurse. What hasn't been said to me? "I hope your baby dies!" While I was in my third trimester. One patient sang a made up song to me titled "You're Too Fat to Fit Down the Chimney". For some reason that one got under my skin. Now it just seems funny. " Hamster! No Guinea Pig!". Of course there was always that one patient that liked to greet me with "C.nt, B.tch, Wh.re!" pretty much daily. Mostly it is funny, and I enjoy my job.

Its a good thing there are so many other good professionals working in ob/gyn!

Remember all of the patients you help every single day. You do good all of the time. This person's actions are not your responsibility, and no one can help everyone all of the time. I have been in your position. One thing that really helped was participating in the smudge ceremony that our hospital had for the staff. If you have any sort of grief groups for the staff I recommend attending. I also spoke to my own counsellors about it. I am still quick to confront the lies I tell myself. I do good in this world and so do you.
