Um, WTF? They're out there in the nurses station talking about sending me to SURREY!!! Are you kidding me???
#1. Surrey is FAR from home. Ladner is not the same thing as Langley, morons.
#2. My whole support network is based out of Vancouver. My parents just rented an apartment in Vancouver, so that I can be close to the hospital if I get back to home-care.
#3. I don't know anyone in Surrey, I don't have an OB out there, and my midwife doesn't have privileges out there.
#4. WHY?!
Wow, I just looked at the clock, 11:04am on 11/04/11. Strange :)
Quite simply, I am not going. If they tell me I have to go, I'm not going. The stupid (they tend to run that way around here) medical student, who is on her first day of rotations, is horrible at hiding that they want me out of here. Where do you live? Ladner, but I moved to Vancouver when I started having pregnancy problems. Where were you going to deliver before this? At home, with a midwife. Where did you deliver your son? Richmond, it was horrible. Where are you pre-registered? Here... Oh. That's right. When I got classified as high-risk, I was transferred to Vancouver, to the MFMS, I pre-registered here, because they seemed to think it unlikely for me to make it to 32 weeks, and Richmond only takes normally grown 32-weekers, not little ones with IUGR. God, what's wrong with some people?
I told the nurse doing my nst this morning, that it was pretty obvious they wanted me to get out of here asap. She said, the Obs tend to be like that, some of their patients live on the ward the whole time, when they should and could go home, but the MFM patients who actually need to be here, get shafted based on office politics. It costs $2000 a day to be here. I'm not the one asking to stay. The student works with the OB, so she's on the OBs side of this battle. My doctor, you know, the high risk maternal fetal medicine specialist, told me I have to go 72 hours with no bleeding. I AM TRYING. It's no like I have control over my cervix or placenta.
Sometimes I just want to run away. I just want to go home.
