One patient that stays in my mind was a 21 year old female who was 38 weeks pregnant and had a chief complaint of nausea and anxiety. She was also concerned if she would be discharged in enough time to make it to the methadone clinic. Immediate concern washed over me for her soon to be child. I wondered how I could still show sympathy and compassion for my patient who I knew was taking a life threatening drug. Methadone could cause serious fetal defects for her baby. I was upset on the inside that she would take such risks to harm her baby. On the other hand, I had to find sympathy for her and her current condition—she was on methadone to stop her opiate drug abuse. It was really hard for me two separate the two situations. I know this won’t be the only time in my life where I will come across this situation. No matter what the situation is, as PAs, we are not to judge a patient’s current situation or past.
