Where is everyone from?
I am just curious as I had posted in my last question where everyone is from? I am wondering if procedures are different depending on where you live.
I live in Canada, Ontario

Wow! Yes I see now that most of you are from the States.
Yes songinmind we do actually here in Ontario have a wonderful health care system. Though at times when you go to the hospital emergency you can wait 6 hours or more before a doctor sees you. I think this is because our health care is free for us. Some people for every little cough or sniffle run to the hospital. But we are very fortunate that there is no cost. The odd thing we may have to pay for like say crutches. Tests, ultra sounds, surgeries are all covered. I have heard many people spend thousand and thousands of dollars in hospital fees for having a child. WOW! I can't imagine that.

I'm in Chicago, IL.
Northgal, I'm wondering if you do maybe see some differences because of your Canadian health care coverage (?).
I know I have a colleague's daughter who is the same age as I am who is in the military. She keeps me updated on her daughters progression (had I not miscarried, we would be within 1 week) and it's interesting to hear the differences in military care that she has versus my private practice/PPO MD.
