[QUOTE="Lil, post: 683104, member: 17309"] What do you call a person who graduated last in their class in medical school? Doctor. :) No experience with midwives, but they are quite common in other countries. I wouldn't have been a candidate...high risk. I have had more compassion from nurses than doctors in my experience. But they are all different. I've had good doctors and bad doctors, good nurses and bad nurses. My most recent OBGYN experience was very unsettling. Being well past baby age, I'm having some menopause problems, so I asked a primary care doctor for a recommendation. She recommended an older man who has quit doing babies and deals pretty much exclusively with perimenopause and such. I don't mind a male doctor, but he literally talked to me 2 minutes to get the symptoms and I was up in the stirrups, no nurse, and I'm not even 100% sure he wore two gloves. In and out in 10 minutes tops. I'll never go back. I've certainly had better experiences from nurse practitioners. [/QUOTE]
