my OB office is terrible

they budget one hour for growth ultrasounds with twins and therefore schedule the appointment with my OB one hour later. upon arrival yesterday, the waiting room was packed...people waiting in hall outside. check-in said they were running late.

so after a not too long wait, i go in for ultrasound. it was under 15 minutes. for her to check both babies growth since last 4 weeks. add the choroid plexus cyst worry and i was completely aghast. she did say all looks fine and they measure 3 lbs. 5 oz and 3 lbs. 8 oz which is great. but come on, 15 minutes...they budget 30 for a singleton. and then at every other u/s, a doctor comes in to review the screen and check it out herself, usually focusing on baby with cyst--this time no one else.

so back to waiting room where i was told dr. was running "an hour" behind. great. i just sat back and relished in the fact that i discovered MGH has a back-up daycare center for patients to use and that i did not have to wrangle sweet M while i waited.

and after only 30 minutes or so they asked if i would mind seeing another doctor and i said fine. (after every u/s since one with cyst, i have not seen my own doctor...i think it is weird). so they bring me to a room with a bunch of computers and a single bed, with a non-stress test machine in the corner, and a doctor completely drenched from the rain (likely on walk from L&D in main building) comes in. as she is firing up the computer, she is all panting and trying to look at my file and ultrasounds. fine, whatever. i hopefully only have 8 weeks of this shit left.

the only thing she says (outside of "oh, it's twins") is

"did you have quad screening done?"

now why the hell would she ask that while looking at ultrasound? check my file, yes i did. but did you see something that looks off? did something on u/s prompt you to think there was a problem?

she assured me all looked "fine" and sent me on my way.

so i do not think MGH is Mans Greatest Hospital. i think it is just fine.
