o darlin, you poor thing, not even offering you a tissue- what a lonely and horrible experience that must have been, big hugs for you...

Big hugs to you MamaDuke, that must be an awful feeling.
I have to say that I am not suprised, it is all about insurance and money and being sued and it sux but that is the way it is.

Just a thought....

What if you went to the ob, and said you will sign a disclaimer or something waiving your right to sue should anything happen as a result of your involvement, therefore he has no responsibility for that part anyway. You have obviously looked into it, and would have noticed if there are any risks, such as infection or whatever, but if you really really want to do this and are confident it is safe then tell your ob you won't hold him responsible and agree to sign something to that effect??
