Is this maybe a state to state law? I've never heard of such a thing, and I certainly would not have anything IMPLANTED at a hospital that didn't have it on hand and made me bring my own. Maybe it's in sterile packaging, but what if (example) the patient accidentally leaves the package in the sun? If you're going to a ob/gyn who uses IUDs frequently for their patients, why would they practice at such an establishment?
This just makes no sense to me because like als463 said, I've never even seen any of my friends be allowed to get a piercing (from ears to everything else) and "bring their own."
