(14,337 posts)She had never seen this group practice doctor before. You do need to really know your doctor, and he you. My doctor, who had delivered my breach baby, had also delivered all 4 of my SIL children. I suppose you could say he was our family doctor.
He was also not at the hospital when I was admitted but was delivering another baby somewhere else. Yes, I myself screamed at the hospital doctors while in labor. I told them you will do NOTHING to me until MY doctor gets here. Maybe since he was an older doctor, he might have had more clout at the hospital? I trusted him and not the hospital staff.
Sorry, don't tell me when you are labor you lose control of your mind. I didn't with 2 children, and a ruptured ectopic. You have every right to refuse medical treatment, and must stand up for yourself.
