No wrong of their own

Abstract

Introduction: This week I share with you a poem from Pratiksha Yalakkishettar, a former family medicine resident at Hahnemann Family Health Center and current Preventive Medicine resident. She says this is "a piece I wrote recently reflecting on an incident on L&D from a few years ago during FM residency where a mother was going to be separated from her child after discharge." There is nothing as overwhelming in life as being separated from a loved one and even worse when it is a child. Pratiksha captures the moment from the clinician's perspective.
