When we did Bradley birthing classes for our first one, we were giving a business size card with questions to ask medical professionals when they recommend a treatment/intervention -

1. What would you do if you were in my situation?
2. If I do X treatment, what additional outcomes should I be aware of?
3. Would you recommend this intervention for your wife/husband/sister brother?

It sounds like she got the doctor to give her #1. I've never had to ask all three of a doctor to get the full story, but any one of them gets the conversation rolling in a productive direction if asked in a friendly, open way.

More prayers incoming for her and her family!
