Chapter 9 - DR. CARLSON’S NOTES

My prenatal chart became evidence.

I had given permission for records relevant to the case.

Dr. Carlson’s notes were painfully clear.

Twin pregnancy.

Twin B transverse at thirty-three weeks.

Gestational hypertension.

Recommended hospital delivery.

Explicit discussion:

Patient not considered appropriate candidate for planned home birth.

I had laughed at that appointment.

“Trust me, my mother-in-law is the one obsessed with that.”

Dr. Carlson documented the sentence.

That helped.

Then another note:

Patient reports family pressure regarding “natural delivery.” Reviewed autonomy and emergency indications. Patient states she intends hospital birth.

There.

My own words.

Not memory.

Record.
