when i went to the OB after my miscarriage the office manager said, "your OB appt isn't until xxx". i was so mad i spoke very loudy saying, "yeah well i had a miscarriage last week so i won't need that OB appt. instead i'm having my miscarriage follow up appt. thanks". i'm sure i made every pregnant lady in the room cringe, but so what. my chart should have been flagged.
