[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a bunch of assholes. And they claim to be supportive - yet refuse to treat women with issues beyond their control. Why do people frequent this place?[/quote]

I'm not with Wisdom, so I'm no apologist, but I think you need to dial it back.  Just because some person on DCUM says that Wisdom might risk you out if you have a several "strikes" against you, doesn't mean that they are jerks. They aren't doctors and it's the right thing for them to refer out if a pregnancy becomes more complicated than they feel comfortable with.  And yes, depression might be one of the factors, but they certainly don't risk out someone just because they have a history of depression. And GD that isn't well controlled with diet might be another.   I expect my providers to refer me to specialists if and when they feel they've reached the end of their scope of practice.  This is no different.  [/quote]

It isn't really just one person, though, because these kinds of threads pop up all the time.[/quote]

Yeah,  Whitney sounds like a demagogue and incredibly judgmental.  I base this on the threads on this forum but more so on the accounts accounts of several friends. Most friends delivered successfully with Wisdom but endured judgment and even bullying at the hands of Whitney and a couple of the midwives.  There's an attitude of if something goes wrong it's your fault and if you deviate from their approach or even question it, you're clearly not woman enough.  Not supportive.  [/quote]

I'm a wisdom patient but haven't met with Whitney yet. I'm not easily bullied. I plan to report back after I meet with her. Especially after I'm purely honest that I think her diet is mostly good but that I'm not going to pretend I don't feel bad about myself for eating a cookie every now and again. If she asks about the diet I'll tell her I'm following it most of the time, because most of the time it makes sense for me. I really-really-really want to give her the benefit of the doubt, because I think you hear the worst of the worst online and i have also heard great stories. But I'm not one to be bullied so it will be funny if she tries it on me. I have other options and know it. AND, I wouldn't keep my money at GW is I leave them. [/quote]
