One or two negative reviews among many good ones is probably nothing to worry about, but dozens of poor write-ups should be a big red flag. Some may focus more on obstetrics, others on gynecology. Cost is an important consideration when choosing any doctor. Check with your insurance plan at the start of your search to see which gynecologists in your area are included in your network. Your gynecologist is going to advise you on topics like birth control and pregnancy — so try to find out how they view these subjects early on.
A doctor with a curt, dismissive bedside manner may make you lose confidence despite their years of experience. You want a doctor who will both listen to you and respect what you have to say. You need to be completely comfortable with this person for the relationship to work. Gender may be an issue when it comes to choosing a gynecologist. Little did I know, as I scrubbed up, that I was about to experience a life changing moment, not just for the mother and father but more importantly at that stage, for myself.
As I witnessed the registrar performing an elective c-section proceeding to the successful delivery of a healthy baby, I was immediately overcome by emotion.
As monotonous as medicine can become I stood there and truly believed that no two deliveries could ever feel the same. Each experience so unique to the mother and father and in return a unique experience for the doctors involved. The thrill and flush of excitement of being part of a life changing moment was so enticing. To acquire the skills, knowledge and responsibility to safely deliver a new life into the world is something I knew I definitively wanted.
From that day forth my passion for medicine and learning returned. While on placement I began exploring further into the fields of both Obstetrics and Gynaecology, learning of all the varied subspecialties. In particular I found the infertility aspect of reproductive medicine to be of great interest; the concept of being able to help women desperately driven by maternal instincts to achieve motherhood holds such immense appeal.
While on placement I undertook an audit regarding the initial assessment of women newly presenting to infertility clinics which was later presented at a Clinical Governance Meeting. A lady was rushed to theatre for an emergency c-section following signs of persistent fetal distress on CTG.
Unfortunately despite the efficiency of the decision making and quick action taken, the baby delivered was still-born. It was an unexpected turn of events for the mother and father and left myself feeling a cocktail of emotions. Despair for the mother and father who were eagerly anticipating the delivery of their healthy baby, anger towards the unfairness of the situation, sympathy for registrar who had done everything correctly but yet had failed to deliver a healthy baby.
