“The Retrievals” tells the story of a dozen wo men who underwent egg retrieval procedures at the Yale Fertility Center. Fo r months they complained of severe pain. But nobody caught on to exactly wh at was wrong\, until one day when an anesthesiologist noticed a loose cap o n a vial of fentanyl. Soon the truth was revealed: a nurse at the clinic ha d been stealing the pain medication and replacing it with saline. Eventuall y the nurse has her own story\, about her own pain\, that she tells to the court. And then there is the story of how this all could have happened at t he Yale clinic in the first place. “The Retrievals” is about the patients w ho say their pain was dismissed\, a nurse who was hiding something\, and th e institution that failed to protect its patients.”
