[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I'd pay for an OB who would spend more than 5 minutes with me at appointments!! A PCP, not at this point in my life. [/quote] i agree, go with a midwife.[/quote] Nurses are AWESOME. I see a Nurse Practitioner as my PCP. She budgets half an hour for appointments, and phones me herself with any lab results, budgeting the time to immediately answer any questions I might have. It's concierge service without the fee. She has a Master's degree (so ~5-7 years of education, including her BSN) and in DC is permitted to prescribe medication. It's true that she has fewer years' training than a doctor, but that also means a far smaller debt load, and I 100% trust her ability to refer me to a specialist if I present with a condition that she can't deal with on her own.
