Many IVF
patients are surprisingly clueless about their treatment . They naively believe
that all they need to do is find an IVF Clinic , and then
leave everything up to the doctor .
This is very
simplistic, because it assumes all doctors are equally competent, and that all doctors have your best
interests at heart .
The reality is
very different .
Not only is
there a wide variation in the technical competence of doctors, their bedside
manners vary a lot as well, and many aren’t kind or empathetic, because they are too rushed and busy. Also,
many IVF clinics are setup in order to maximize their
profits , rather than care for patients .
This is why
patients can’t afford to leave everything upto their doctor.
Yes, it is very convenient to do so , but the reality is that ignorance is not
bliss . Unfortunately , most patients learn this the hard way - only after their first IVF cycle fails.
This is when they get up and finally start doing their homework . This is when
it dawns on them that the quality of treatment they received was very poor ,
because the doctor did not bother to do a blastocyst transfer , and did not share photos of their embryos
with them . Sadly, by this stage, the damage has already been done , because
you have already paid your money up front . In fact, many clinics sign you up
for a three-cycle package , which means you are stuck with that doctor , even
if you have already lost all confidence in him.
What’s even
worse is that your ability to trust any other IVF doctor takes a beating ! If
you have been cheated by one IVF doctor, then it’s perfectly natural to assume
that all IVF doctors are cheats. ? After all, why
should any other doctor be any better than your current one ?
This is why so many patients who could have got pregnant if they had done IVF at a good clinic end up losing their chance of having a baby . And to add insult to injury , they end up wasting their hard-earned money on incompetent doctors.
