What a Nut! (another OB interview... funny, but sad)

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
So today I interviewed another OB. I really liked the last one I interviewed, but I just wanted to try one more. He was not, uh, very comfortable with natural birth or VBAC, to say the least. FIrst he told me this horrible story about a VBAC he attended that resulted in uterine rupture and the baby "getting lost" inside the mother and they had to do an emergency surgery and her bladder was ripped and blah blah blah.

And then he says, "And sometimes you get these women who come in here with these birth plans. They don't want to be on the monitor and they squat all over the room, pooping in the corners."

I think I might I have said, "Wow," or something to that effect. I was speechless.

Needless to say, he will not be attending my VBAC. I am feeling really good about the previous doctor and I think I will go with her

He makes it sound like women are animals, squatting and pooping! That is hilarious, but yes, very sad! I wonder how many women go with him and have an uneducated rcs

Yeah, I wonder the same thing. You know, this is going to sound crazy because he is an OB, but I really felt like he was afraid of childbirth or something. He made it sound so dirty and he had all these fears he kept voicing. I really think he probably prefers c/s births... as if they are safer or cleaner or something. He was really strange....

Always interesting to me WHAT doctors choose to tell us! I really think they need a lesson in manners/what to say in medical school!

Yeah sounds like he picked the wrong profession

Definitely a bit amusing - squatting and pooping... I feel sorry for his patients. I kind of wonder if he's married or has kids.

That is so sad. *WHY* do some people choose to become an OB??!
