I was asked to speak before 12,000 aspiring medical professionals this summer. As I shared my story, I could feel hope flooding my body… hoping that the story of one woman who almost lost her life while giving birth, would impact the entire room. My hope is that they will carry this story into their medical careers and advocate for their sisters, partners, neighbors, friends and complete strangers in the delivery room. My hope is that the power and knowledge in that room will lead to better outcomes for women. That birth will some day be completely risk free. Or that, in the worst case scenario… they know how to take action. Because now they know someone. Now they know someone this happened to. Thank you @FutureDocsNow for having me 🥹 #birth #birthtrauma #conference #endafe #nursesoftiktok #hospital #nurse #students #tiktok
