That has always amused me about the US - again just more cultural 
differences. I know that stirrups exist, I have seen them in the hospital, 
but they certainly arent common place here, even in the ob and gyne's 
office. I have never been in stirrups - ever.

If women here had to go to the gyne to have a pap smear I doubt anyone would 
remember to do it. Actually I had a little chuckle the other day - I got my 
pap smear reminder in the mail (they are sent out by the lab who does the 
test). Thats one I can throw away :-))

I went to the same Ob for all my children, well I started with a different 
one for Alex just because of difference, ended up back with the one I had 
for the girls, but he passed me onto someone else at the same hospital who 
specialised in high risk pregnancies. Even if I were considering going back 
I wouldnt choose him again, but that seems fine with him too. Every time I 
have been in the hospital he avoids me like the plague - guilty 
conscience!!! he even refused to see me when I tried to ask how the mistakes 
happened during my pregnancy - that is why he failed to give me my test 
results. His insurance company apparently gave him a hard time over that 
one. I am guessing he will finally have to face me in court.........

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
