Hullo Lynn! I keep hoping to see you in these North parts but I've lost track of where you are, and now you're moving. This was a good thing to read and a good reminder to think of what people are going through. I gave birth (not IVF related) at the Homerton and, oof, so much to say. Very good in parts, and also very much not so.
Also used their A&E with a sick child a couple of times but had to leave because a medic accused me of trying to read another patient's notes. It was the most bizarre accusation I could imagine - in fact I still can't quite imagine it. Had been waiting with genuinely sobbing child (we'd been in a minor car crash, whiplash) for hours and not yet seen. No pain relief. I went and tried to ask someone, whose desk was kind of in a corridor, if there was any chance we were near the front of the waiting list. She accused me of trying to access other patients' confidential information over her shoulder. It was so utterly bizarre that I just took my little kid home and gave her all the meds I could find at home. Tried again the next day. Finally went private. Fuck me - we live in strange times. I send my love to all of those embryos xxxx
