Disgust.

This has been an odd last few days. I worked a 48 hour shift starting sunday morning at 8am and got off this morning at 8am. I had the misfortune of transporting a 32 year old woman, Melina, to SHANDS-UF. SHANDS is the teaching hospital in our area. She is 36 weeks gestation and had a premature rupture of membranes (her water broke prematurely/pre-term). As I read through her chart I realized that this is her 11th pregnancy. She has 4 living children. She testedpositive/addmitted to smoking marijuana on an almost daily basis since her gestation. She also tested positive for cocaine, methamphetamines and barbituates. How does someone have such ill-reguard for other people and themselves? This is not uncommon at all in this area. I guess I never realized how prevalent it was.
