A collection of untold stories from the perspective of a healthcare provider and parent who has spent endless hours in the waiting room.
I live a double life as a pediatric clinical pharmacist at our Children’s hospital and as a parent of a child with multiple medical challenges and high healthcare utilization. I often find myself sitting in the waiting room in discomfort, trying to figure out what hat I should be wearing.
Which side of the waiting room am I on today?
This blog is for healthcare providers who want to learn more about the thoughts that race through a parent’s mind from across the waiting room.
This blog is also for parents of children with medical needs. May you find validation, compassion, and humor from the perspective of a parent sitting across the waiting room.
