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. This is especially true in the perioperative setting, where procedures like dilation and curettage (D&C) are not just medical routines but deeply personal journeys for the patients involved. 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.
