Review Highlights:

I recently had a healthcare experience during my pregnancy that left me both concerned and eager for better patient care. Initially, I took medications including semaglutide and phentermine for weight management, unaware of my pregnancy status. Upon seeking assistance from the physician assistant, there was a noticeable lack of communication about the implications of these medications on pregnancy, as well as my health metrics such as blood pressure, which was significantly elevated at 159/105.

Despite my background as a registered nurse with 7 years of experience, the focus seemed to tilt more towards financial counseling rather than addressing urgent health concerns. This experience highlighted the importance of comprehensive patient care, especially during critical periods like pregnancy.

After requesting to review my medical records for further clarification on my care, I encountered an unexpected issue with the documentation of my vital signs, which raises concerns regarding medical chart integrity and compliance procedures.

While the journey was challenging, I remain hopeful for improvements in patient interactions and care standards, especially regarding the knowledge and support needed for pregnant patients navigating complex medication regimens. I encourage others to seek out healthcare professionals who prioritize comprehensive care and patient safety.
