[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 20:50.  We had about 8 OB's in our practice, so I cycled through them all for at least one appointment.  On "game day", I was in labor/delivery for about 24 hours and had 3 on-call doctors.  The first one was a guy I'd never met before, a very nice guy.  I was sad that I didn't dilate enough on his shift!  The second guy was a guy whose bedside manner I disliked so much that I told my ex I was going to hold the baby in vs. delivering with him.  (sadly, my body did that all on its own.)  The third guy was a guy who I'd seen before for an appt and hadn't particularly liked.  He wasn't especially warm/fuzzy but he did a good job and everything went fine.  (yes, I finally delivered.) I found out afterward he was a friend's long-time GYN and she loved him, so it's funny how everyone is different in their impressions of people.

So the takeaway for me was that with Kaiser or a similar HMO, you may not have much say who your doctor is for your labor/delivery.  For me, that's fine.  For others, it might not be fine.[/quote]
