Not all Doctors are evil

I got the call yesterday from my primary care doc. They got the report from the ultrasound. I was kind of anxious to go to the appointment. Not because I thought there may be something wrong, but because the evil technician might have falsified something to get me to deliver in a hospital.

Let me start this by saying we got lucky with my doctor. We had literally met this woman once before I got pregnant, had just switched over to her. And while I did like her, we in no way had any idea of her philosophy for childbirth, etc. Most doctors will agree with you hypothetically, especially on pregnancy related things. So when I had to have an actual DOCTOR request the testing, etc (ultrasounds, blood work, etc) for the pregnancy or the insurance would not pay for it, I was a little worried going to her. I had already gotten so much hell from the medical community on my decision and went in ready to fight for my decision. She accepted it awesomely :)

So I get to her office today, ad she tells me the results, reading the report for me, and already has a copy made for me to take to my midwife. Everything is perfect with the little one. And she asks me how I like the place she sent me to, since the other one was unavailable. So I tell her the whole story. She was appalled! And also asked if I had called to complain to the office manager as to how I was treated. I told her no, the tech did her job alright, which was to measure the baby and all other ultrasound aspects. Well, that wasn't good enough for her, she sat around talking to me for a while, and was trying to find another way to get an ultrasound done for me cause I was so ripped off at the other place. She finally tells me "We have a girl in the office who is grumpy and trying to quit smoking, I'll have her call and complain for you"

She also tells me that she had a baby come in that day who was an unassisted birth the previous day :) We talked a lot about baby wearing, and breastfeeding as well. I'm so glad she is home birth friendly, I couldn't have gotten any luckier :)
