[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry for your loss, as well as for everyone that has shared their experience.

I had a miscarriage recently and I felt it was all handled very well by my doctor's office, even though she never offered any sort of sympathy. First of all all appointments were done quickly and I had minimum wait times. She patiently answered all of my questions, but she did keep it very matter of fact. I suspect they do this on purpose. The sonogram technician was the only one that offered some kind words referring to my miscarriage. Anything technical and medical was done just as any other appointment. This did not upset me though - I felt I was handled professionally and with the appropriate amount of sensitivity. I was also afraid that if anyone said "I'm so sorry" or anything like that, I would start crying, so I was almost glad they treated me as if this was all very normal.

I am sharing this because I think it is possible to feel taken care of even if they don't say much about the miscarriage. What you describe I think was not very professional - having to repeat over and over the reason for your visit, waiting so long when you plainly don't feel well... That is what I think made this so upsetting. I am sorry![/quote]
