Ep. 48: Patient Advocacy in the Birth Room

Today HeHe and Mandy sit down with Nurse Melissa, who originally intended to share her story anonymously.  After some consideration, she decided to share her identity and shift her share into a story about nursing.  Combining a history of 15 years of nursing details and crafting one powerful (and at some points hard to hear) story about patient advocacy in the birth room.  

This story may resonate deeply with you, because her story is all of ours.  Whether you have been that nurse, on that medical team, a birthing human, or a support person.  And this story needs to be heard. 

Melissa's share does include topics like birth trauma, medical manipulation, abusive power relationships in the workplace - so if you need to listen at another time, pause, or fast forward- we encourage you to do what is right for you.
