[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 173785, member: 1991"] You may not be able to demand a copy of her medical records. But he MUSt send on a copy of the files to another OBGYN of your choice. A new OBGYN should also be able to request the hospital records. There is also the possibility that after this scare, this current OBGYN will now believe you and pay attention. When you talk to him, stay on topic. Take in notes you have made. Make a list of bullet points you want to discuss (or get easy child to do this). If you'reconcerned they're being dismissive because she fits the stereotypes, then go in guns blazing. "OK doctor, I know she's a pregnant unmarried teen on Medicaid, I know I'm a terrible mother because I didn't prevent this pregnancy - now can we just consider the lecture given, and move on? We have problems with this PATIENT and she needs EXPERT help to keep her alive and healthy. Keeping the bay well would also be nice. Do you think we can put our past problems aside and now work as a team here? Do let me know if you still have difficulty with this - we will go elsewhere so we are no longer a problem for you, if you can't handle this." It may work. Or it may not. Frankly, all you have to lose, is this OBGYN. And if this isn't going to work, then I suspect neither is he. Marg [/QUOTE]
