continued indecision, with new data

[chhotii]

Now gosling has demystified for me why I was having the uneasy feeling that it's too late to shop around for an OB: many doctors won't take a new patient past the 6 month mark, based on disapproval of how the patient's previous doctor has "managed" the pregnancy up to that point. Hurmph. Seems to me that these doctors have an overly inflated view of the role they play in the whole process. Anyway, I should not get too attached to the idea of switching, as I might be disappointed.

Acclaim all around for the wonderful Dr. Beth at Mt. Auburn. If she were at BI, I'd be clamoring to be her patient, as she does sound pretty cool. But, she's at Mount Auburn. I think a lot of people choose Mount Auburn because they live in Cambridge and it's tremendously convenient for them, but that's not relevant to me. But, a really good doctor might be enough of an attraction. But, Michelle said that they suck. But, how representative is that one incident with the heating pad-- surely they can't screw up all the time?

Hmm, should at least try to talk to Dr. Beth on Monday. Hopefully that will clarify things.

What is the incident with the heating pad?

She asked for a heating pad, and they didn't bring her one for a really long time.

while it has absolutely nothing to do with pregnancy, i have to say that mt auburn is my favorite place to get admitted from the ER for emergency abdominal surgery. i mean, i only have a sample set of one, but they were pretty good.

Well, I've heard many many good things about BI. I've had a poor time of it at Mt. Auburn, but that was about 10 years ago and not pregnancy related (it was an ER trip).
