[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 182607, member: 1233"] Dreamer, It is time to write all your concerns down. Use OUTLINE format, not paragraphs. Tell the doctor you think this is endangering easy child, her job, her baby, her health. Tell them you need 1 week or 1 month scrip for the anti-emetic, you think after losing X pounds through week Y, it is time for her to have treatment Z as recommended by the American Board of Obstetrics (or whatever the name of the group is). Look up whatever the recommendations are, and then sit with the doctor until he takes you seriously. If the doctor leaves, you can stay in the room until he comes back. Tell the nurse you need to speak with him, he left, and you will be staying until he can talk to you and take you seriously. It sounds like this doctor is overscheduled and is just rushing through things. I could be incredibly wrong, but this is NOT something to mess around with much longer. Make sure easy child is with you. It might be a wonderful idea to have easy child sign an advance healthcare directive. Any hospital will have that paperwork, and doctor cannot fight it. Is it possible to find another doctor? Maybe ask the nurses at the hospital what doctor they think would take her and be more likely to treat her appropriately. I am sorry this is so hard on her and all of you. Glad you go to see your friends and the preemie. [/QUOTE]
