Have to agree with the insensitivity of medical staff. I was told on the morning I went in for my D&C that I hoped I wouldn't mind that I was probably going to be put in the maternity ward once I came out of surgery. WTF? No, nothing would bring me greater joy you idiots. I in no way think myself superior over those who don't have privatre health care, but don't I pay for it to get supposed preferencial care? As for relationship, family was closer but friends drifted as explained in a previous post. Hope all this information you are getting helps you out somewhat.
