A couple of days ago I was discharged from the hospital after tripping and falling on my tummy (I am pregnant)?

1 I think now a days they just want to make sure. I feel like you do, that just because it could have been bad that it was. Think of it this way.....if she didn't look into it and something did happen to you, your family would be all over that hospital for not doing anything about it!

Just be yourself and tell them the truth and don't worry. Congrats on the baby! Glad nothing happened.

2 This is a guess and only a guess, but it may be that they have to check that box whenever there's even the barest hint of potential abuse. Just as an example, I have a friend who broke her arm while playing soccer. Less than a year later, she tripped over her dog while holding a glass bowl and cut the heck out of her hand.

Social services spoke with her, her husband and their two sons separately as she had been in the ER twice in a short period of time. He had nothing to do with either incident, but they have to check. I'm guessing that this is what's happening here.As long as you and your husband are honest, and your condition can be verified by your physician, the call should be okay.

Again, please remember that I'm neither nurse nor social worker and these are strictly my opinions. Glad to hear you and your baby are okay! Best wishes on a continued healthy pregnancy.

3 It's routine, I suspect. They're just making sure that neither you nor your baby are being abused.

4 They always check to make sure you didn't "fall with forceful assistance". It is pretty much standard operating procedure. I fell at work when I was pregnant.

They wanted to make sure I wasnt lying to cover up abuse. Don't sweat it. Its normal.

Now, the couple may be resistant to the idea of hospice, because older people often have the misconception that hospices are warehouses, where people are hidden away and neglected until they die. Totally not true! But if it looks like a hospice might accept him or them, take the wife there for a tour (call first to set it up, of course); once she sees how different it is, she will likely be OK with it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
