[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bloom are absolutely not your people on this. They are the definition of folks who schedule inductions for convenience.[/quote]
This is absurd. I went to Bloom, chose a 39 week induction and the doctors have no say over when it is scheduled (Sibley makes that decision), Sibley rescheduled mine twice due to a nurse or bed shortage, and you have no idea how long an induction will take before you are ready for the doctor to come in and deliver. Bloom has a doctor on rotation all the time at Sibley. Why do people think doctors have a conspiracy against their health?[/quote]

Not a conspiracy. Perverse incentives.

An OBs incentive for potential predictability, additional revenue, ease of scheduling and protection from liability is at times in conflict with a patients incentive for potential better recovery and early neonatal period for their infant.

This doesn’t mean they’re conspiring it just means a well informed patient needs to be aware of all the levers acting on an OB and advocate for herself and her own best outcome.

It’s naive to think every OB prioritizes the optimal recovery over predictability. [/quote]
