'When we watched the character Rachel Fleishman’s labor and delivery, we understand that she endured healthcare devoid of compassion, devoid of dignity.' From rafleishman:
My intense reaction to the novel-turned-television showbegan when I saw my last name in the book’s title. When I bought it, I did not know its two protagonists shared iterations of my name: Rachel Fleishman and her ex-husband, Dr. Fleishman. As I read it, I saw through both characters’ human failings and found strands of my own identity in each of them. Watching it now, four years later, I am struck anew by how Rachel’s traumatic birth left the Fleishmans in trouble.
I always thought it was because of my job that birth stories find me. They find me over wine when a close friend confides how she felt the day her 7-year-old son was born 9 weeks premature. They find me in text messages when a colleague goes into preterm labor with twins. They find me in between sobs at 11 o’clock at night when I am rounding in my NICU. They creep into my dreams after I run to the emergency department when a pregnant woman was in a car accident.
related to their deliveries and the unnatural parenting environment of the NICU. Because neonatologists lack training as mental health providers, I commonly refer parents for professional help from social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists or parent support groups.
