[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I wish (current patient GW) that we, the patients, could get additional details into how the "embryologist lab" is being run (that is separate from RE).  Skills of each lab tech, competent or even better than average? (handling of fertilized eggs by lab tech could make huge difference).  That type of info.  [/quote]

Does this happen at other clinics? Have you asked for that information and been denied? I felt fairly confident after attending the 'Intro to IVF' class, getting to hear from Doug about how he runs the lab and asking him any and all questions. Also, if they did provide that information, how would go about verifying that information? What clinic is going to say 'our lab techs are slightly above competent.'?

Yes, I understand that the lab makes a huge difference in success rates, but I'm not sure the average IVF patient is qualified to vet the competency of the employees in the lab. There is a role for SART to play, but this is also where trusting yourself and the team providing care comes in. [/quote]
