[quote=Anonymous]Had so many people on the room at GW for my first and still recall the young male med student looking horrified at the sight of childbirth and looked liked he'd seen few vaginas before- it added a moment of levity.  I did say no to a very pushy nursing student - she repeatedly asked us our potential names ( we hadn't shared with anyone, we didn't even know the sex of our kid) and she was just very demanding in a way I didn't like. An attending was there for the final delivery and came in at every shift change

Second delivery I saw a doctor at beginning of induction and at time baby was about to come I wondered if it was just going to be my husband and the nurse- 2 residents then arrived for it whose names I don't even know and I think an attending joined very briefly but he didn't stay long and the residents stitched me up.  I would've been annoyed if it was a more complicated labor but it wasn't so they likely appropriately triaged attending to where he was needed.

I am a psychologist and trained on real patients ans think it's important for doctors and nurses to as well[/quote]
