Heartfelt Guidance for Perioperative Teams on Dilation and Curettage Procedures

Sometimes, the stories we live through aren’t just meant for us. They’re beacons, lighting the path for others to find solace in shared experiences.

As someone who once navigated the harrowing path from the emergency room to the operating table for a D&C, my story is shared in the hope of enlightening new nurses about the profound impact they can have, even when their patient lies beyond the consciousness of words and gestures.
