Redeeming Dr. C

Okay, we will never be best friends. We will never think the same way, but today, Dr. C got lots of points with yours truly. As I described in a hostile fashion, we had words at our last meeting. I emailed her to assure her and explain my position. I found her response to be mechanical and uninteresting. Today she called me and told me she had emailed me an article about twin vaginal deliveries (I have not read the whole thing yet because it is very technical and medical) and that she had been consulting with colleagues about my wishes versus hers. She told me she did not want to be obstinate and that she was trying to make me happy while doing her job as safely as possible (this is where we differ, on the definition of safe as opposed to risky legally). She also said that if she were me and had delivered two big babies naturally she would want the same thing. I do appreciate her thought and consideration, even if she will not let up with the epidural plan. I am going to speak, upon her suggestion, to one of her twin specialist colleagues. I also think that if B turns this will all be moot. The happy part of this is that she seems to be thinking and being more considerate. I feel better.
