You and your baby deserve better. Heck, political prisoners deserve better.:
I held my friend's hand while this doctor ordered her to induce 4 days before her due date, warning that the baby was "too big." I held her hand while he ordered IV Pitocin with no cervical prep. I watched the nurses roll their eyes at him behind his back. And I listened to the nurses reassure her that "your baby will be just fine. And when it's time to have another baby, you can choose another doctor. By8pm, he scolded my friend for not delivering yet and said he'd let her push while he went out to diner with his family. He said of all his patients that day, she was the only one keeping him from going home. This led me to conclude that my friend's induction was scheduled entirely for his convenience.
