“A year after my postpartum hemorrhage, I had a miscarriage in public at a frozen yogurt shop. The humiliation didn't end there. At the ER, while waiting for my regular doctor to arrive, the attending ER physician walks in. I’m covered in blood from my waist to my feet. He grabs a stick and says to me, ‘Spread your legs’. The look of disgust on his face...I don’t think I’ve ever seen a look like that on a human being's face... like I was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen in his life and he didn't want to touch me. It was so degrading."
