Why is it that so many baby doctors are non-emotional and, simply put, not warm?I've heard from so many people how cold their experience was with their medical Dr. when delivering their first child. What's happened? It seems that having a cold, sterile, experience is the norm not the exception these days. More and more people I've talked to have expressed that their trips to the Dr. were no different than getting their car oil changed. In some cases they had better experience with Jiffy Lube than their medical Dr. What happened to customer service and relationship within the medical field? Where is it written that a Dr. and patient can not have a friendly relationship and not just a cordial visit?
Dev and I have a friend who is a nurse and she could not bring herself to have her baby delivered by a Dr. That in itself speaks volumes to the lack of care she perceives in working in a hospital everyday.
All this to say that Dev and I are looking for the type of care that seems normal for someone having their first baby. We're almost 6 months along and we'll be meeting with a mid-wife on Friday in hopes of finding the right care for our baby, but also our baby's momma. We need a partner, not just a stiff in a lab coat that can perform C-sections.
