I have the world's most inappropriate OB

So I went for my 16-week visit today. All's well with Flick, HB 154, I've gained 4 pounds net so far. But man, I'd forgotten what a complete ass my OB can be...


With Sadie, he told me that my weight gain had a 'little curly tail on it'. And he said some other outrageous things, I can't quite remember them all (something about "maybe your kid will be on the short bus, who knows?"). He's a top-notch doctor when it comes to medicine, but it's almost like he has tourette's or something, and every once in a while he just sort of slaps you in the face with some completely inappropriate remark...


It's kind of a long story, but we got onto the topic of the breastfeeding clinic at the hospital and how the exorbitant cost of circumcision was supposed to pay to expand it, and then he started going on about the 'zealots' on Facebook who "want to flash their tits everywhere" and then it was 'titfeeding this' and 'titfeeding that'. My obstetrician said titfeeding. TITFEEDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Can you believe it?!?!??!?!?! I mean, we do have a bit of a banter and we're always joking around with each other, but that's kinda WAY overstepping the bounds of appropriateness...titfeeding....I just can't stop my incredulous laughter over that one....

OMG!!! How did you keep a straight face?


"titfeeding" is what my no-so educated, low income pateints call it...i cant believe a well educated man would say something like that!


my RE was also one for the comments. When i started showing (around 9-10wks) my RE said "oh look at that belly!" and i said "yeah, i think its just bloat"...she then said "oh no, honey, its called OBESITY!"!!


The nerve!

Holy Moly!! I think the first comment about the curly tail was bad and I would have had to come back with something more. But man the comment was horrible!

OMG all I can think of is the phone calls I'd get if one of the docs in the practice I work for said something like that to a pt....

Oh, wow. I'm surprised he hasn't been called out on that kind of behavior by someone by now - especially these days!

Mine and yours must have gone to the same medical school, where they apparently teach that this kind of stuff is appropriate!!
