A story from What We Carry

The Day of the OSCE

After the KFP nearly broke me, I found out I was pregnant during my OSCE prep. So determined to do my very best for my family, I put my heart and soul into preparing for the exam.

The day before the exam I started bleeding. I attended the exam with my mind completely focused on fear: fear of losing my baby. During the exam I continued to bleed, and it finally ended in a miscarriage.

Passing the OSCE was bittersweet, and I will never forget that day.
