Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Oh CHrystal, I am sooo sorry you have to deal with this shit, I really am. I would absolutely hate it. I would just try to stay with the asshole doc since he is the head one he must know what he's doing. I felt like I was totally ognored my next to the last visit too and then this visit went well, Maybe your next one will be much better. I am praying that all works out well for you. I know how you feel about wanting to go to california for deleivery. I felt that way when I moved over here in NY, I wanted to go home to Vermont and actually had 2 both times. this time i am more used to them here in NY so will deliver here but i still would rather be home in vermont. Good Luck and vent here anytime, i certainly don't blame you. God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY Age- 41 EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi All, I am really upset. I met the doctor who is supposed to be caring for me while my doctor is on vacation. He is the head of the whole womens department and one of the biggest a--holes I have met in my whole life. He didn't even take my concerns seriously or listen to me at all. He seemed to have no knowledge of my medical condtions. I asked him about my switching from lovenox to heparin as my doctor wanted....He said he wasn't going to do that for a few more weeks - my doctor wanted it done right away in case I go into labor on my own...Better safe than sorry. So I had to nag him to get him to do that..I mean really nag him. Then he got really b-tchy about it.......! Then he said they would do a ultrasound in 3 weeks to check the babies size but my other doctor wanted it done this week because he didn't want me to have another 9+ pound baby and to check the condition of my placenta. I tried to talk to him about how I was feeling and that I think something is not right. He didn't listen to me at all. I am so upset. I told hubby that I do not want to go back there at all ever. I hate this place and I feel so upset that someone I don't know or trust will be delivering my baby. I also am scared of the care I got. Is this what I have to expect - how do I know baby and I are okay. I told hubby I just want to get in my car and drive to California....at least I know medical personnel there and my parents are there - my dad was a Nicu nurse and I trust him completely. I am just so upset I feel like screaming and stomping...I am 36 weeks and I cannot keep dealing with kind of person. Who do you complain to when its the whole head of the womens' department? Nobody will do anything - right? Now I'm wondering what will happen if I just don't go there....If I go into labor on my own and go to the hospital down the street from my house. Will they transfer me to this other hospital 20 minutes away and I'll be back to the same hellhole..........? None of my questions were answered and I am scared and just really discouraged and upset. Thanks for letting me vent. Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mommy to - 4 Years Old! Jonas Due July 28, 2004!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hey Chrystal, I am soooo sorry that the doc was a complete jerk.. and yes - there is someone else you can complain to - the head of the hospital! I sure as heck would! When does your doc get back from vacation?? Hopefully, your doc will be back before your little one comes...

My last OB with Noah was a biotch... and her office sucked... BIG TIME! As for going to another hospital... depends on your insurance. Most insurances require a " pre register " at about 6 weeks prior to birth... the paperwork is submitted by your OB's office.. and hence.. the insurance pre approval. Often times.. delivering at a facility that hasn't been pre approved can result in a penalty... before they start to pay out. BUT.. many insurance companies have a special department that handles Maternity/Well Baby. I would start with the complaining there.... and ask them what your options would be... etc. They could refer you to another OB and then there would be no penalties.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi Chystal, vent, vent, that's what we're here for. It's a cryin' shame that some practitioners out there DO NOT grant patients their autonomy. Can your your general doc switch your meds since the 'scab' OB won't? Sending serene wishes your way!
