[Theme Song] Everybody's got

Hi

Well, hello Chelsey.

Hello listeners.

Welcome to Review That.

Review the podcast dedicated to review it.

reviews.

We're just like Cisco Neibert only instead of reviewing cinematic masterpieces, we

That's Chelsey, Donn,

And that's TreyGerrald

and together we are.

Review Queen.

If you like what you're hearing and you love our show and you want to show us some

When you join our Patrion over@patrion.com slash Review That Review.

Hey Chelsea, happy mother's day.

Happy Cinco de Mayo.

It's another double hitter week.

I know all the holidays happening at once.

I will take your happy mother's day because I'm a dog mom, as you know,

I'm working on training Goldie, Stella to not bark.

So if you hear a bark, occasionally, you know that we're working on it.

Okay.

And it's hard being a mom.

It's a work in progress.

You're a mom with many plates in the air.

Uh, we are going to focus today's episode and the celebratory energy towards mother's day.

So I wanted to get us kicked off with my absolute favorite Jewish mother joke, which

So Chelsey, this is my absolute favorite.

Here we go.

A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who

You come in the front door of the apartments.

I am apartment 3 0 1.

There is a big panel at the front door with your elbow push button 3 0 1.

I will buzz you in common side and the elevator is on the right.

Get in.

And with your elbow push third floor.

When you get out, I am on the left with your elbow.

Hit my door.

Grandma.

That sounds easy, but why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow.

What you coming?

Empty handed.

Ah, that's funny.

Oh my God.

In the time of COVID I was like, that's so considered the grandma, it'd be

Good point.

It actually hits a little different now with

Right, but that's funny.

I agree.

You should never show up empty handed.

That's a Shonda.

Shonda.

What a Shanda.

Well Chelsey, now that we've gotten some giggles out, is there anything that.

you want to complain about?

That's sort of moms centric.

We did talk about this a little bit off the air about maybe bringing on

So, you know, I wasn't sure what I was going to do.

And then I had a conversation with my mom and I found one.

So,

all right.

Well, let's hear it.

So does your mom have anything that she would like to.

Lodge A Complaint.

About VAU.

She does we do.

I agree with this complaint actually.

So my mom would like to complain about the gosh darn prices of groceries.

These.

Which I will concur.

Listen, when I was like a kid and my grandfather would be like, when I was

His voice did not sound like that.

But like when he was exactly, when he would say that, I was like, okay, whatever.

But now I'm just like, listen, the prices are going up.

The wages are not going up.

My mom was like, she said, she went to the grocery store to get dinner for two nights.

Over a hundred dollars.

That's a lot of money.

Like when you're buying groceries, you're supposed to save money.

That's the whole idea.

If I'm going to go to the grocery store and spend a hundred dollars.

Well, then I don't know.

I feel like I should be getting another check from the government or something

I don't know.

Something is very wrong in the city.

There's a kink in the.

It's re that is funny because I do feel like that's such a, um, I feel like

And it's funny, cause my sister actually visited with her husband and two children

The house.

And so I bought a bunch of groceries for the kids ahead of time, in case, you know,

And my sister was like oh, do you think you'll mention me on the podcast?

And I was like, well, I'm sure.

Cause it's the mother's day episode, but here we go, you just helped me segue to say hi to

It's like, how is this so expensive?

The inflation rate has gone up so much.

And I don't know that if it's like, we were agregious Slee underpaying employees

Like I'm not really sure where the problem originated.

So I want to leave space for like, maybe we're playing catch up, but I don't love that.

That's like falling on the consumer

Well, I also have a gas here because I remember like canned

Like our parents' generation.

It was like a new invention after the depression, it was like a way to stock up.

And I think that ended up being cheaper than today where it's like, that's not on trend.

Everything is fresh.

There's only so much farm land.

There's only so much lots of land where you can grow the fresh corn,

Exponentially get more expensive on top of the fact of inflation, et cetera, et cetera.

I don't know.

I'm speaking out of my butt here, but yes, I do even recognize that as a 30 something where it's

This is crazy.

You know, like I remember when water bottles started and that was like,

You go to get a water bottle at a Broadway show.

It's like six bucks.

So Yeah.

Anyway.

Anyway.

Yes.

I know a lot, a lot of, a lot of things are changing.

What can we say, prices being one of them.

So what's your mom's complaint,

So wait, what is your mom's name?

So that was Randy's complaint.

So I'm going to give you Peggy's complaint.

So I have a weekly phone date with my mom and, uh, you know, we don't always meet exactly that

feels like pulling teeth to get her to call.

Eh, regardless, you know, she is the parent, so she wants the child to call, but I can't

You should call, give me a call.

Why don't you call me, call me.

Can you call me?

And I'm like, you can call me too.

She'll be like, haven't heard from you.

So I figured you were busy and I'm like, well, you could call me and find out, or you can text me.

It's really cute.

When my mom does text.

'cause it'll just be like something about days, of our lives or it'll be like her dog.

But anyway, my complaint is a very standard mother's complaints.

I haven't heard from you.

Why haven't you called me?

Which I understand the power dynamic.

I think if I had a child, I would expect the child to call me as well, but it's just funny

And so like if one end doesn't call him the other could call.

Yeah.

I just want to call out like your non-Jewish privilege for a second and

And if I don't, it's like sound the alarm call the police.

Something is very, very wrong.

It's not just like you didn't call yesterday.

It's like you put that on me.

I thought you were in a ditch because it was 24 hours, you

Well, there's also that other joke that I almost told today where the

She goes, I'm been sitting in the dark for 48 hours.

Why what's wrong with the electricity?

Nothing you just didn't call.

I didn't want to get up and turn the light on for failure.

I'd miss the qual.

Oh God.

Anyway.

That's Peggy's complaint.

I wonder if any other mothers feel that complaint?

Um, well, that's fine.

Yeah.

Well, something different from mother's day.

Exactly.

All right.

Well, should we like move forward and do a special edition versus episode Chelsey?

Would you like to go head to head?

Without hesitation.

I do.

I would like to go ahead, Trey.

All right, let's do it.

Mythos.

Assess That Kvetch.

All right.

So as I was saying today as a vs episode, meaning we are going to cover both a one

That's right for this versus episode, Trey is reading the

So to determine who reads first, we got to flip back quote.

I'm going to say tails.

Oh, it's heads.

Uh, right.

That means we're going to hear the five star review burst.

So just to get us started, here's a little bit of background on UCLA health birth place.

Westwood.

It is one of Southern California's most comprehensive maternity centers.

The birth place provides family centered care and offers private rooms along with

There are elegant labor delivery.

Recovery rooms are designed to recreate the feel of a home or a hotel room.

Okay.

So there are 18 reviews for UCLA health birth place.

Westwood.

It is mouthful on Yelp with an average score of 3.5, kind of right.

A little bit above average.

So with that being said, let's get started with this birth is.

Review That Review.

All right.

So as we mentioned, I am reading the five star.

My five serve you is written by Alexandra.

Oh, and this is Alexandra owes five-star experience.

Here we go.

Like many first time moms, I felt an enormous amount of anxiety over

For months, I went back and forth on whether I wanted to give birth at home or in a hospital.

I interviewed doctors, midwives, doulas, et cetera, and spent a good amount

But every time I felt the most supported by Dr.

Aparna should jar at UCLA.

Every question I had, she took her time and answering, even when I asked it three times and

To me, they seem to follow an evidence-based approach that balanced the health and safety

Even still, I wasn't sure how things would pan out when I actually checked into the hospital.

It's now been two weeks since the birth of my daughter.

And every day I felt grateful for the experience I had at UCLA Westwood from the care provided

To the importance placed on my birth intentions plan to the incredible care provided by Dr.

Sridhar and finally, the resources and support provided by the nurses postpartum in

As a whole, there is nothing we would change about our daughter's entry into this.

Wow.

Alexandra.

Oh.

Yeah.

So I tried to lean into that one spelling error as the top.

Yeah.

There's nothing they will.

Yeah.

They just spelled what wrong.

How'd they spell it.

W O L D.

I love that Alexandra wrote this two weeks later, like that was still so present.

she's literally postpartum, probably like breastfeeding her baby.

No judgment if she's not, but you know, that's how I'm picturing it in my head.

Not to be gross, but she's probably,

the other

yeah, exactly.

Like writing this while taking care of a newborn

I also appreciate the use of the phrase birth intention plan.

Ms.

Hill.

I mean, like I know nothing about childbirth.

I know nothing about babies.

Like it's never been anything of interest in my life.

Obviously I've gone through the experience with my sister and I think what is so high pressure.

From observing as that, you do have an intention that you want to have met.

And so I feel the depth of that desire with Alexandra saying birth intention

And that it was like the top of the priority chain, which I think is beautiful because then

Like, you know, I mean, it really feels like Alexandra was really taking.

Yeah, especially because this is, you know, this is Los Angeles.

And even though some people might kind of roll their eyes at the whole, like I was

So I liked that they discuss, listen.

I also was thinking about doing a non-traditional birth.

I would imagine that other mothers who are reading these reviews might say, oh,

And I've really wanted to go in this direction, but maybe I should

Maybe I would be surprised like Alexandra was

Yeah, I think that right off.

Cause I had took a note about that too.

I think right at the top, they did research for months like preparing which

Yes.

Which make sense for a first time, mom?

Exactly.

And I think that instantly creates a trustworthiness for me.

Even if it isn't ultimately the choice I would make, but the fact

And like you just said the first time mom, I think that was present in

There's so much pressure when you're a first-time mom that you're going to not get it right.

A hundred percent.

And also just like the added stress of that experience.

I remember I also was there for all of my sister's births.

She was very stressed at first time when she had to divert from the plan that she had.

It was extremely stressful.

So I think that it was smart of Alexandra.

Oh.

To go in and like, I don't know that the doctor prepared her for that.

Absolutely.

I also really think I'm adding value and unique information points here for Alexandra.

Oh.

Because they shout out to specific individuals, April and Jocelyn.

I love when that happens and these sorts of reviews, because it's sort

Even if nothing else, it could be like, oh, I read about you Jocelyn.

I'm so glad I get to meet you in person.

I actually decided to go here because it seems like you were a really great person.

So giving a shout out to the individual, especially in this day, in this

I imagine if I was Jocelyn, it would make my day to see, oh, I actually was

What I was struggling to decide as I was reading through this Review!

myself being that I know the one star review is coming because this is a birthing center.

And because we're talking specifically about this one doctor, do we think

Do we think that if I'm going to this birthing center and I read this Review!.

The based off of what Alexandra is saying, I can assume that that's going to be my experience.

I don't know.

It's a really great question, honestly, at face value.

I think I read Alexandra owes Review!

and I think I'm sold.

I mean, it's better than a commercial on television, you know, so.

the variables are there.

And I think that they're, we can't ignore them.

Like

And I think that Alexander, oh, points out the variables.

They explicitly dictate the delivery doctor, the two nurses or whoever, April and Jocelyn.

Also the fact that it's two weeks later and Alexandra says every single day, they've

I mean, I don't even know that I would consider if it would be a fluke because I'm so sold.

By how five starry this experience was for Alex.

I don't know Alex, why don't I just

It's a guy, Alex, we can call it.

We can Al pal, if I was about to give birth and I was deciding where I was going to do it.

And they saw that this place had an overall 3.5.

What I skip and move on?

I mean,

I might.

a good question.

I know it is, it is alarming to me that it is right in the.

Yeah.

But I also think anytime you're getting opinions or reviews, it's

So landing in the middle is maybe sort of like, doesn't push it either way.

I don't

I guess just to like sway things for me, because I feel like

other than the world that are so great is I think if I was going to read this Review!

based on the fact that the overall was 3.5, I would be searching for consistencies amongst

Is it just that Alexandra super lucked out with her experience and everything went off

And I think I'm, I'm leaning into, I don't know what's going to happen when I hear Trey's Review!

but you know, if I was just isolating this particular Review!

I think I would feel safe, but is that a false safety?

I don't know.

I mean, I think we're getting to the point here of like, if you want to zero in

To compare against, because I think it's such a strong, Review!

the only thing missing here is humor.

I don't know, like if it's appropriate in the context, but I don't know.

I think I could crowd Alexandra.

Oh, how are you feeling?

I feel I can crown Alexandra.

Yeah.

I think that you're right.

I really like that point that you just made before we sign off, but I liked the point that

So good point try.

All right.

Let's crown Alexandra.

The Queens are Tabulating.

All right.

The Queens or unanimous four and a half crowns, four and a half crowns.

All right, try you go first.

Why four and a half for Alex?

I almost want to say five, but we're missing a little humor.

I don't know.

I think the wood misspelling is so minimal.

It doesn't matter, but it is curious.

It wasn't caught, but I don't know.

I'm very taken by the fact that it's been two weeks later, you've just given birth.

You're like, so in awe.

Remarkable your experience was, I don't think that can go unnoticed and it really does make me

I mean, that's the whole point of these reviews, you know, I just took the half

You have to have April and Jocelyn on shift at the same time as Dr.

and let you know.

But to me it would be my common denominator, my, um, ground.

What did you say?

You said that.

My Baseline.

for comparing.

And so I said four and a half A'.

Yeah.

Okay.

What about you?

Why four and a half for you?

I feel like, you know, it just takes a little extra sauce

But I will say like, if this were American idol, I would be giving Alexandra that

Like she's caring for a first time.

Mom, who might be reading this Review!

so great job, Alexandra.

You're nearly a Review Queen.

And thanks for your contribution, UCLA should be very proud.

Exactly.

Yeah, I would, I would frame this on the

I would too.

All right, well, let's take a quick break.

And when we come back, we will hear an entirely different side of the story.

God.

And this is the part I always get so nervous about, but I can't wait.

All right, let's do it.

be right back.

We'll be right back.

It's game time, right?

Chelsey.

Let's take our quick spin on the Meryl-Go-Round.

' VOICEOVER: I don't feel like an icon.

Most of the days, I feel like

All right.

We are back from that record breaking game break.

When it go, try still, can't get over that.

When you have the one-star, let's hear the opposite side of this.

All right.

So this is an interesting circumstance I do want to, before I begin, I

was written three years ago, but they have updated the Review!

two years ago.

And for the sake of brevity, I'm not going to get into it, but the update

Who has condensed the experience and just tells their point of view again, why it's a one-star

So we're going to hear the.

original.

Yeah.

So this is, um, under the account named Keegan.

See it.

as a one-star review for UCLA health birthplace Westwood.

I mean,

Here we go.

It cannot be understated.

How nightmarish my experience giving birth here was I came in to be induced after

She clearly didn't bother doing that since the day I came in, they were over capacity.

The doctor came in and asked me if I wanted to come back at different.

I said my OB had scheduled me for 12, 12 and asked if they were quote too

She assured me that no, at quote, how busy we are, won't affect the care you receive

So they put me in a dingy little waiting room.

This place advertises itself as having beautiful birthing rooms with soft lighting tubs.

I never saw a room like that in my entire time here, I ended up being shunted

I almost gave birth in a dirty little waiting room.

See my story.

Okay.

After arriving for my scheduled induction at noon on 1212, I was finally given

I was dilated to two centimeters already beforehand and 60% of faced five hours later.

I was three centimeters and 80% of faced.

So I had responded to the pill quite well.

They inserted a second.

My around 8:00 PM.

By 11:00 PM.

I was having quite painful contractions and asked about my epidural.

They assured me I would be able to get one.

One of the nurses suggested to the other, that I should be moved to the actual

The other nurse Caroline said they were quote Two,.

So they left me there for another hour while I had painful contractions.

They could not give me an epidural until I was actually moved to labor and delivery.

Finally around midnight, they came back and moved me to another waiting room.

But at least this time, this one was in the labor and delivery area.

So they would at least be able to start the epidural.

By this point, my contractions were already two to three minutes apart and lasting for 60 seconds.

They had not checked my cervix at all since they gave me that second misoprostol at 8:00 PM.

So they had no idea how I was progressing and just guessed that it would still be awhile

I sat through contractions every two minutes while they threaded the catheter for the

This was excruciating by this time it was one.

The walking epidural, I received simply did nothing.

Meanwhile, my contractions were getting stronger and stronger.

I was feeling pressure.

And my rectum, I had the distinct feeling.

The baby was coming.

They had me hooked up to the T O C O contraction monitor.

And even though I was yelling out loudly and pain every two minutes, because

This is the truly unforgivable part.

I told them the baby was coming.

And so did my birth partner, parentheses my stepmother, a N I C U nurse.

My step-mom went out and told them, Hey, her contractions are less than one

I think the baby is coming and.

The nurses at the nursing station, parentheses who had still not bothered to actually check

I was screaming in pain for exactly a minute, every other minute, parentheses like, Yeah.

A'.

holes.

I'm faking it through a question marks and the waiting room with my step-mom without nurses

Finally my water broke.

I thought I'd pissed myself.

So I said, quote, I pissed myself.

Finally, the nurse came in to change the pad underneath me.

She lifted my gown and was like, Oh,

that's the baby's head.

It's like, yeah, bitch, I've been giving birth in here alone this whole time

Believe me at that point, they finally moved me to what seem like basically an operating

On 1213.

I get that my labor was unusually fast, but these horrible nurses just didn't believe.

That I was having contractions and worst still didn't bother to check.

I was still never checked between the time I'd been three centimeters.

And when I actually gave birth, I've moved all my care to a different hospital.

Stay away from this place.

It treats patients as cash cows and the nurses couldn't give a F K less about you.

I will not be delivering my future babies.

This place is a factory of nightmares.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Keegan.

it's a lengthy review, but I felt like it's very worth it

And how excruciating this experience was for Keegan.

I mean, listen, I sometimes feel a certain kind of way about a Review!

that has a pro-life.

Which this clearly did,

Yeah.

but it really set the tone for what we were about to receive, because

And then as we were going through the experience, I was like, this is a nightmare.

That is a nightmare.

Like this entire experience.

It was a nightmare.

Wow.

I just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correctly.

We know that we have to be induced.

So we make this appointment.

We specifically request like a queen that were there during a time where it's less busy.

We get there and it is busy, but we're kind of told it's, it's going to be fine.

You're going to receive the same level of care.

And then we start getting treatment in the waiting room.

Yeah, I understand that there's variables here because it is sort of like,

And so you have the wherewithal to say, is it a little too busy because it was scheduled.

So if it's overwhelming, let's pick another time and you're confirmed.

That you will not be impacted by the level of mania going on.

You can't say like, oh, you might have a better experience if you come back.

later.

But it's also like, this is literally life and death.

So don't give me a nicety, be honest, like

right.

I mean, yeah.

I mean, that is something that I want, like, why is the OB not on the phone?

Maybe the OB is like delivering another baby or something.

This is the point where I feel like the OB needs to be intervening, where I feel like Dr.

Aparna really seemed like she was a huge part of this process.

Where is this OB?

This sort of reminds me of my own birth story in a way, which I'll tell on Patrion.

I mean, of me being born, but okay.

We're, we're being medicated in the waiting.

That just seems dangerous.

correct.

like doing a campfire outside and being like, you know what?

This is going to start the fire inside.

Why not?

I'll get the

carry the fire out,

Yeah.

I'll carry the fire out to the, to the flame with me.

Like that is crazy,

well, I do think that part of it is like bodies react differently.

So they I'm imagining that we're like this could take three hours.

even so does not feel like playing with.

Yes.

Also she's there with a NICU nurse.

How did he

does that mean,

neonatal intensive care unit?

That's for my, I only know this because like one of my best friends, staff is a neonatologist,

But anyway, so this person is around difficult and time sensitive birds all the time.

So I I'm like wondering how we even got to this point.

I think that's a really great point.

because I didn't know what an ICU stood for.

I think that you just literally ended this whole episode for me because it's

And I think it's incredibly trustworthy.

I believe it, but I think the fact that like your, with your step-mom, who is the HBI, see,

Right.

She's not the HPAC, she's a nurse, but still like you're with someone that has.

is high stress birthing

Yes.

And the nurses in these environments are like very critical.

Like, yeah.

Sometimes there's only one neonatologist on staff, so we really need all NICU nurses on board.

Well, but that's my point is like so much in life.

It's about who, you know, so you bring this person with you instead of your life partner.

So you would anticipate that that would be communicated and you would most likely

So they know when you're coming.

You know?

So like the fact that this experience occurred and you were accompanied by a nickname.

As I say that, right.

NICU,

like outrageous, horrifying.

The fact that the head was crowning.

God.

Also, I think it's a complete deal breaker for me.

The fact that they never checked.

Are you out of your fucking mind?

Like you could not only kill the baby.

You could kill the mother, like argue out and I recognize maybe they're over capacity.

They're under, it's like too many plates

too bad.

Right.

too bad.

That's the job.

This must happen all the time.

Like, I don't think this is a F I don't think this is going to be fluke.

You can't predict when a baby is going to decide to go into labor.

If it is scheduled and you can't accommodate it, there has to be a contingency plan.

It is completely unacceptable.

Oh, yes, because if I read this Review!, this would be very near a

I'm wondering if Keegan got inseminated on Valentine's day

And maybe Alexander, oh, God inseminated.

Not on a sexy holiday.

You know, there are seasons.

couldn't do the math in my head, but I was like,

know what that is,

is is December 10th, 11th, whatever.

This was a

But I just also, conversely, want to say here, like as much as possibly Alexander.

Oh, got lucky.

I'm wondering if also Keegan got unlucky.

because it is sort of.

I don't think that this is necessarily a fluke.

I think it is a variable you're going to be dealing with constantly, but like,

I'm think I'm, at the, let's go through the points.

Spelling and grammar is pretty great.

It did say Shunti.

I was shunted around.

I don't know what that means.

That's a word shunt.

It is like, I think it's like ignored.

Okay.

So then, okay, so then vocabulary words for me.

I believe them.

I don't think they're being shady, no humor, but I was thoroughly entertained

Yes.

I was completely swayed by this review in all the ways outside.

before we crown, I want to say like I do wish that they had mentioned to the OB was by

I do tail.

I also would love to know the nurses names.

There is blame to be placed,

I bet they chose not to mention that.

So, you know, maybe that was a conscious choice because of their morals and ethics.

So I don't know how we'll see how that plays into the crowding, but I think I can do it.

You.

I can do it.

Let's do it.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Oh, wow.

Interesting.

Wow.

Okay.

So I'm holding a four and a half crowns again, trays holding up five crowns.

So I did it four and a half crowns, cause I thought I was equally

And then if I was going to give Alexandra oh four and a half, I had to do the same for

Bye.

Alexandra's Review!

I felt horrified by Keegan's Review!

and I will say the thing that I'm giving Keegan the most credit for that, like

They said, I don't want to be there at a time when it's crowded.

When they got there, they said, I will come back another time to be induced.

If it's crowded, they really like saw the writing on the wall before they even went down this road.

Maybe they, you know, read the Alexandra owes and we're like, all right, I just need

And even with all that due diligence, it still was a complete and utter nightmare.

I didn't give the five because I was scared.

I was not laughing at all.

It was not a humorous and.

I dunno, that's why I didn't go for the full five, but you went for a Review Queen for Keegan.

So let us know why you thought that Keegan was a review queen.

I gave Keegan a Review Queen because I think the impact here, the, the

Like that's insane.

And the fact that the.

Birthing partner who happened to be An,

expert in the field, had to run and chase people down and say like the

And like, instead of looking at the mind, it's just too much.

And I appreciate the length.

I hate long reviews.

I think it's incredibly worth it for this experience.

The preface.

I agree.

Maybe it could have been a paragraph shorter, but it drew me in.

And then also that a year later, The partner that, who we know.

now as a NICU nurse wrote a summary, they're really trying to protect

Queenie that like I gave Keegan the five crowns because I just think it's a horrible experience.

I believe them.

This is just horrible.

I Google what a nightmare nightmarish

It's it's so odd to give someone a Review Queen status and feel so upset.

You know, it's usually a very funny light, but I think the impact here is so strong.

I'm extremely upset about this experience for Keegan.
