Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi all, Is it totally normal for OB-GYN's to have to cancell multiple appts. for emergencies? Or could it mean that this MD is not skilled in AVERTING these emergencies [and therefore may not be skilled in other important ways]? My first appt. [a few months ago] was cancelled the day prior. The rescheduled appt. when OK. Today, a group of us were sent home b/c the MD had to run to the hospital for two emergencies. When I asked the staff if it is always this way, they kinda brushed it off with " this is a doctor's office, you know " . When asked if she would cancel my myomectomy with one of these emergencies, they assured me not. I'm not sure, but I'm finding that hard to believe...... Have any of you had a few OB-GYN's and noticed if some have frequent cancellations and some rarely do? ***** Look for the good and praise it! ***** R.--SF | = O = | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 : IMO, some docs have a patient population that would lend itself to more emergencies. Some are also just disorganized, and they tell you it's an emergency when it's really something else. So, it could be any number of things, and I don't know of any way to tell for sure what is what. If you are constantly being pushed to the side, though, why not find another doctor? Regardless of the reason, I'd want to be seen and not have my time wasted, say nothing of the mental torture of not knowing if you'll actually have the procedure.
