    judyblueeyes replied to hope3456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    judyblueeyes replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  16. insensitive ED Doc

    judyblueeyes replied to she.lpn's topic in General Nursing

    I sippose he thought that would make you feel better or else he was 'running the nimbers' in his mind- either way, he was rude. We had two docs at the station- one OB and one a non-OB doing a consult....

  22. Elective Cesareans/On Demand

    judyblueeyes replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have any opinion on any woman's choice of delivery. Whatever she wants is fine with me. Sometimes I think there is too much emphasis on HOW the baby gets delivered when the delivery is such a...
