What the hell? No interviews?

Allright doctors, listen up! Obstetrics is a competitive, consumer driven field. Allow yourselves to be interviewed. As a mom, I want to know that we'll get along, you will after all be looking at my girly parts and providing a service to me. As a childbirth educator, I encourage my clients to interview all potential health care providers. You as an OB, encourage your patients to interview prospective pediatricians, don't you? Then why can't I interview you? Oh and why are you charging me for a consult? You have the potential to make thousands of dollars off of me, provided you pass my quiz. I would think you would want interviews/consults, after all it would give you, the obstetrician, the chance to weed out the mothers you don't want to work with (You know us, whiney, natural childbirth obsessed mothers?)'
I'm only a week into knowing I'm pregnant, and already, I'm ready to give up on the obstetrics profession.
Please, someone send me an angel.

Arg at their non-interview-excitement :(

Hey, DH and I were trying to pronounce "obstetrics" and I realized I'd seen it, spelled it.. but never attempted to say it out loud. I'm sure we both butchered it.. know a pronunciation? (here's where a dictionary comes in handy, I know..)
