[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the big deal?  People will happily pay $5000 to go to Disney but balk at the minimal cost for a private room at Sibley?  I delivered two there and it was as pleasant as labor and delivery can be.  Great nurses, great care
  What more can you legitimately ask for?![/quote]

Functional blood transfusors in the OB operating rooms.  That's what I'd ask for. [/quote]

Wow. That is awful. I know two friends who needed transfusions during their deliveries. One vaginal and one C section. One friend lost over half her blood volume from a hemorrhage and need emergency transfusion and hysterectomy. I would never deliver there knowing this. Even my amazing GP - who is affiliated with Sibley and in their office building - said she would not recommend delivering at Sibley (at least until the new building is done) because they aren't equipped to deal with complications. I dont understand why so many love the place when there are so many great hospitals in this area. [/quote]

Same rationale re: NICU. My SIL is a NICU nurse and has worked in multiple NICUs including the highest risk ones. The thing about the low-risk NICUs is often they are staffed by people who do not regularly encounter issues. She has said she would never deliver at less than a level 3 for that reason. You probably won't need it, but you just don't know.[/quote]
