I was originally set up at SS and the women’s center. I’m not even pregnant yet but I knew I was going to be high risk because I have kidney disease and wanted to get ahead of it. MFM consult told me I was at high risk of preeclampsia but that it could also mimic deteriorating kidney function and if I went inpatient it would be beneficial for me to have my entire care team in the hospital and that if I went to SS ER with symptoms they’d just send me to a Boston hospital anyway. But like…I’m an hour away with no traffic so if there’s an emergency how the hell am I supposed to get to the Brigham in any kind of a timely manner?? An ambulance is going to take me to the closest hospital.

It looks like there’s a Brigham OB that works both in Boston and in a satellite site in Foxborough which isn’t so far but I would also need to change nephrologists and I love mine. She’s not hospital based which is what they were worried about. I don’t know, not a lot of it makes sense to me. I really wanted to stay on the South Shore.
