[quote=Anonymous]I have delivered three of our four children at the GT hospital.  Unfortunately, they changed dramatically sonce our first three kids (10-16 years back).  In 2010 they were awful - I saw five doctors (because they are too busy to see "their own" patients, as well as "hugh-risk" specialists.  They were mostly unresponsive to my needs, they managed to miss at least one "failed" sugar test, adn only after i inisted and bothered them they agreed to retest (and shure enough I had a diabities which required a special diet, and attention).  They also managed to "forget" to give me a Rogham shot (for rhesus negative) which could cost your baby his/her life!!! - I had to research that I needed it at the time of that particular bleeding situation and call again and again to insist they do it.  If it would not be for my 4th child I would not have known all of these tests and shots, and I could have ended up with some serious problems for my baby.  At to finish up the story - they absolutely demanded taht I do the c-section for two months coming up with all sorts of scarry and very stressful for the pregagnant woman scenarios.  Finally, they said that this is the liability issue to them (because I tend to have big babies - 8.15 - 10lbs) and if I do not agree I will have to find another practice.  I agreed eventually very very relactant (and in tears), and guess what - the baby was the smallest we ever had (8.8lbs), and chopping me up in pieces (and making it so much more difficult to care for the baby and for other 3 kids) was completely and totally unnessacary after all - it was all because they did not want to consider a risk (although the same practice but unfortunately doctors who left delivered our trully large babies - 9.15 and 9.8lbs and were very supportive of the natural vaginal birth).  We went to GT because we trusted their expertise (and with good reason in 1998 and 2001) but unfotruntelyy they changed alot!  And now they all about making money on you, sitting and waiting for 45-60 minutes, being on hold for a nurse even in tru emergency for 45 minutes, having little time for their patients and apparently most of all protecting themselves at all cost from possible (and natural) complications of pregnancy and delivery.  I don't trust them any more, they treated us very poorly.  However, the nurses in the recovery unit are fantasitc!!!  If only they could give lessons of care to doctors!  The lactation support was also great!  Very personal, attentive and caring.  We are pregnant again with our fifth, and we are looking for a better caring and professional practice.

Good luck ladies!    God bless you ![/quote]
