MAMSI
I have never been treated worse in my life. She was on shift when I was induced to deliver my son. She was wholly dismissive and nasty about my birth plan, had zero care about my choices (mind you, the baby was at no point in distress). She entered the room like a tornado and expected me to just bend to a ton of invasive procedures I expressly didn't want. When I tried to slow her down and even have a chance to breathe, to think about all the things she was demanding and to discuss them with my doula (considering she conveniently only entered my room the few brief times my doula was not present), she snapped at me, "You don't need a doula. You need a psychiatrist!" Never in my life have I been treated so unprofessionally, rudely and disrespectfully. I actually scheduled a C-section for later that day, when she went off shift, just so this woman would not come close to touching me or my son ever again. I cannot express enough how traumatizing this was or how unbelievably horrible she was. She didn't listen, didn't care. I was a job. She knew all, her word was law and to be enforced immediately without consent or consideration, to heck with my comfort, wishes, etc. Even the nursing staff at INOVA Alexandria seemed completely bothered by her. When we decided to "fire" her and schedule the c-section, all my nurses did what they could to help make it all work. They, as professionally as they could, confirmed it wasn't just me, that this was just how she was and that they were very sorry.
