Thanks guys....
I have just emailed her and asked if there was another Ob that might sign off instead... I'm 99.9% certain the one I normally go to will say no...

Fingers crossed I can find another one...

tashybabe, last time I checked out the middie's around here, we had no IM, just the hossy based one, and she's not allowed to take on patients not "approved" by an Ob... so damn annoying!!!
