Thanks. I do have a medical alert bracelet and ordered a new one (that I am wearing now) that not only lists the RSD but also my due date for the pregnancy. I have a medical ID card in my wallet too with more specific notes (like no ice, pre-surgery block required, etc). The pamphlets are a good idea...this particular doctor just seemed like she wouldn't care anyway...I explained about blocks, why I should have one in the event of a C-section, etc (all the stuff I went over with the first doctor and she agreed with) and this doctor said the complete opposite that maybe I shouldn't even have an epidural, etc...so didn't listen to what I said at all.

Not going to let it bother me. My boyfriend's comment was, "Of course she didn't listen to you...it's all way above her pay grade." Not the first time I've run into this sort of doctor...things will turn out ok.
