I will not be a "typical" patient and let a Dr. tell me what's best for me. I won't blindly follow anyone; Dr. or not. I will be smart and research and make informed decisions. I won't do it just because the Dr. told me too! I will not let my care be taken lightly and kept in the hands of Drs. to whom I am just a number...
I will sign a release and have copies of my own records. I do expect Drs to take me seriously and answer my questions. To come in and speak with me about my results before I am discharged; not just send the nurse with a few tidbits that leave me with more questions and no real answers.
I WILL fight for myself and my baby to receive adequate care when it is needed.
And in the end I will remind myself why I have chosen to birth my baby at home!!!
