Since we moved across the city we are switching hospitals that we are delivering at which also causes us to have to switch Obstetricians. I was kinda fine with this as my last doctor was always a minimum 3 hours behind on a good day and always had crazy waits. So this week was the first time with the new guy and I got have a normal experience as I was in and out in less that 1 1/2 and lots of that was due to the fact it was a first appointment plus he had a student, so I basically had my appointment twice. So now on to the awkward part - I knew his student as in I went to high school with her. She was the one I got to answer all my medical history questions with. All i know is I was glad there really was no examining of a "personal" nature happening in this appointment. I fine with Doctor's having to do this, don't care if they are male or female but I kinda like this to be the only situation I know them. Like I could never go to a Doctor that I knew in any other part of my life (same goes for massage therapists - I once had a girl I knew from church and the whole time I kept of thinking this is strange). Is this weird of me? Is it bad that I'm sure that his student (the girl I know from high school) will be gone by my next appointment? Not knocking her as a doctor, she was good.

No, I totally understand why it's awkward and you're relieved that you won't have her there next time. When I was in labour with Laur and they were shipping me to Lloyd by ambulance my workers were a guy I graduated with in the back with me and the father of a guy I graduated with driving. I was SO glad that I didn't need anything looked at on the way there.
Very awkward
Did she recognize you or did you have to pretend that you had no idea who she was
Yes! I am soooo with you! I want my doctor to JUST be my doctor! Not someone that I know in any other sphere. I just don't think I could handle that.
It scares me to think that people we went to high school with could become doctors... LOL
