Could not agree more. Thank you so much, Dr. Clark. I mean, it brings tears to my eyes just to hear you say that. This started with if we could just help one person, it would be enough. And I think we've done more than that. There seems to be this unequal scale for how we judge hospitals as opposed to how we judge out-of-hospital settings.

There is something very unique about trauma that comes out of hospital birth. someone probably told you that you shouldn't do that, that you should do what you are quote unquote supposed to do and just go to a hospital and just go see an OBGYN. So when you have this really bad outcome, you blame yourself.

And depending on the people that you interacted with, you may have been judged or treated differently during your care because of what you chose previously. And if something really bad happens, There's a lot of blame and a lot of guilt, I know personally. I'm relieved of that blame today. I don't fault myself for the choices I made with the knowledge that I had then.

But now I know better and I can help other people. Our stories are so important. If we are going to start making change in this part of the maternal health field, people are silent. And sometimes your providers are a part of your silence. That is also a problem.

And so I think collectively as a whole, survivors, people who had good outcomes in out-of-hospital settings, midwives, doctors, doulas, nurses, anybody who has a hand in this needs to really look at these stories and become introspective. And instead of saying, I'm sorry this happened to you, say, what can I do? How can I make sure

that this happens to no one else because this is absolutely unacceptable. We need to do better. That has been really awesome to see is how medical providers are reacting to our stories. And I think there's a certain amount of validation that is happening in obstetrical wards and maternity wards throughout the state. I know several hospital systems that are listening.

Every medical system in the DFW area is listening to this podcast. Every resident, every postpartum nurse, even anesthesiologists are listening to this podcast. And I think there's some amount of validation there that is happening. I could not be more grateful to be able to be a part of this.
