I am pregnant and my midwives want me to have some blood drawn. They had a hard time getting at my blood themselves so they sent me to a 3rd party Phlebotomy clinic to get the service done. I call these people to make an appointment and I am faced with “masks are required.” I asked “will I be refused service if I do not wear a mask?” They answered “yes, sorry its not my policy its the corporate office.” I said “I understand. Thanks I will be going somewhere else.” And hung up.
I wrote to corporate to let them know I am pregnant and healthy. Masks do nothing for my health, my babies health or others. I explained I would never ever be a patient of theirs with this crap policy.
My poor midwives are caught in the middle. I apologized to them even though they are super kind to me. I said they can try taking my blood next time if they really need it.
Done venting.
True that. I’ve declined literally everything else. I don’t want any intervention, my baby will be very healthy without their help. The midwives are awesome though and I suppose they want to know my iron levels and what not. They have been very accommodating to me.
I had a huge spaz fit and needed to spit out all my emotions thanks for listening
I'm not disputing the midwives' concern for your wellbeing, but they're following protocols put in place by the medical-industrial complex.
Best wishes for you and your baby!
Yeah totally and thank you very much for lending an ear. My frustration isn’t with them at aaaall, they are great. More than great!
