OMG. Seriously. Ok. Here is the story. I am almost six months pregnant. For the last few days I haven't been feeling well. In the last 24 hours or so I hadn't felt our son move and I was starting to get worried. So, I called the doctor's office Goodman & Partridge better known as momdoc and spoke to the nurse. She was very pleasant. I described to her my symptoms and she said better to be safe than sorry so to head over to L&D at Mount Vista Medical Center. She told me that since I had not been feeling well that was likely the answer as to why Baby Chase hadn't moved.
We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and waited for the nurse. The nurse came in hooked me up to the monitor and we waited. Turns out the baby's heartbeat was perfectly fine. A little fast, but otherwise fine. The charge nurse came in and said that she would check with the on call doctor to see if he wanted to order an ultrasound. And it begins.....
Dr. Lee Yosowitz. He was the on-call doctor. He came into our room and did not say one blasted word about how our son was. He proceeded to ask me very snark-like, "So, I see that you want a VBAC." I proceeded to say yes and explain the reasons that I did not want another c-section if I didn't have to have one. He then proceeded to belligerently tell us that the doctors affiliated with Mountain Vista do not do VBACs. He told us a story (scaring the CRAP out of us) that he once walked in on a VBAC that had gone very wrong and the baby had died. [Seriously, who says that to a pregnant patient or any other patient for that matter?] He then divulged the details which we cared NOTHING about. I was so fuming mad and speechless that I couldn't even speak.
Then the conversation took a turn for the worst. He said, "So, am I on the fence about abortion? Do I believe it's right or wrong?" [WHAT THE HELL? WHO IS THIS GUY AND IS HE FREAKING SERIOUS???] He then says, "In reality, if my daughter is raped and gets pregnant am I still on the fence about abortion?" - WHAT- Oh I seriously could take it anymore. The conversation became more and more aggravating the more he opened his BIG TRAP.
I look at my husband and he looks at me and I just want to burst into tears. First, what the hell does abortion have to do with the reason that I am there in the first place. Secondly, what in the hell does that have to do with giving birth or the current health of my son?!?!?!? BEH!
I asked him if I could go home and he said, "Well, I guess you didn't like what I had to say."
The running commentary in my head is non that I can post here but I had a lot of not nice thoughts!!!! BAH! I have already contacted one Dr.'s Goodman and Partridge Office and I will contact another one tomorrow. Namely mine.
