[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anesthesiologist needed a negative covid test for YOUR safety. [/quote]

I mean think of the absurdity here, hospitals all along have been treating everyone, including the ones they KNOW have covid. But we’re supposed to believe there’s one rogue anesthesiologist who just refuses to go in a room without a negative covid test? Your covid status is relevant to the procedure. She was waiting on the test like all the other labs she needed to safely give you an epidural. And then your labor proceeded too quickly for it to be possible. The end. Women miss the epidural all the time. [/quote]

PP here.  Ok, I'll bite, since you called me "absurd." I literally was just repeating what the hospital told me: that the anesthesiologist wouldn't come in until my test came back.  I never said it was a "rogue" anesthesiologist - I don't know what the concern was.  If it was the risk to me, they certainly never said that.

If that was the reason, it would have been nice for them to tell me that and maybe let *ME* make the decision about whether to take the risk, as a person with zero symptoms who had been extremely careful in my late pregnancy including barely leaving my house the last few weeks.

Also, the article PP posted about epidurals and COVID makes one recommendation: that COVID-positive patients get the epidural EARLIER.  So please explain how waiting made me safer?[/quote]
