03-11-2009 - PRIVATE DOCTOR

My mood while writing this blog: STOKED

SO LAST WEEK WAS A LIL ROUGH FOR ME.. RAN INTO SOME FINANCIAL ISSUE'S, HAVEN'T BEEN SATISFIED WITH MY DOCTOR'S (YES PLURAL) AT THIS CLINIC I HAVE BEEN GOING TO, I WAS DEALING WITH SOME INSURANCE ISSUE'S.. AND WELL LONG STORY SHORT FINALLY GOT A NEW INSURANCE CARD. WHICH I NEEDED BAD IN ORDER TO SWITCH DOCTOR'S. THIS PLACE I WAS GOING TO FOR PRENTAL CARE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MY PREGNANCY WAS A CLINIC. AND EVERYTIME YOU WENT IN YOU HAD A DIFFERENT DOC EACH TIME. I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE, MY QUESTIONS WEREN'T BEING ANSWERED AND TO TOP THAT OFF THEY WANTED ME TO DRIVE 25 MIN AWAY TO THIS HOSPITAL THAT THEY DELIVER AT WHEN I HAVE A HOSPITAL 5 MIN AWAY. I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THAT AND THAT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ME THEY COULD NEVER ANSWER. WELL GOOD NEWS IS WHEN I GOT SICK A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAD TO GO INTO THE ER TO BE TREATED, I WAS TALKING WITH THIS OB TECH THERE AND SHE WAS TELLING ME ABOUT THIS DOCTOR HERE IN TOWN THAT IS VERY WELL KNOWN AND IS AT THE HOSPITAL ALL THE TIME DELIVERING. I CALLED HIM UP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO GET ALL MY RECORDS TO THEM NO LATER THAN 27 WEEKS. THEY DO NOT EXCEPT PATIENTS 28 WEEKS AND ON SO I WAS REALLY CUTTING IT CLOSE. NOT ONLY THAT, HE BOOKS UP FAST! I ENDED UP GETTING THE RECORDS TO HIM AT 26 WEEKS 1 DAY. I CALLED EVERYDAY TO CHECK AND SEE IF HE HAD REVIEWED THEM CUZ HE IS VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT WHO HE WANTS TO HELP AND ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M SO FAR ALONG. FINALLY I GET A CALL BACK ON FRIDAY SAYING HE WOULD LIKE ME TO COME IN, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OPENINGS. I WAS LIKE NO!!!! THE RECEPTIONIST SAID SHE WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST AND CALL ME IF ANYONE CANCELED. SHE ALSO SAID TO CALL EVERY MORNING AND MAKE SURE (CONSIDERING I WAS DESPERATE LOL). WELL MONDAY CAME AROUND AND I GET A CALL AT 9AM ASKING IF I COULD COME IN. I SAID HECK YEA... SIGN ME UP! SHE TOLD ME TO BE THERE BY 230 TO FILL OUT PAPER WORK. OMG THIS PLACE WAS NICE! THE WAITING AREA WAS HUGE. I WENT INTO THE RESTROOM AND IT WAS EVEN BIGGER LOL... HE HAD PALM TREE'S AND EVEN A FEW STATUE'S HAHA. THEN THE EXAM ROOMS HAD A DIFFERENT THEME'S IN EACH. WHICH I WAS IN "THE ISLAND ROOM". VERY INTERESTING SET UP BUT A NICE CHANGE. HE ASKED ME TONS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT MY PARENT'S AND PPL IN MY FAM WITH A FEW PROBLEM'S. HE WANTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND FOR ONCE I FELT ASSURED I WAS IN GOOD HANDS. IN THE END THEY GAVE ME THIS BAG FILLED WITH THE NEWEST PREGNANCY MAGS, A FEW BABY DVD'S, TUMS FOR HEARTBURN OR EXTRA CALCIUM AND A BUNCH OF SAMPLE'S. I AM JUST SO HAPPY, BLESSED, THANKFUL AND ALL AROUND LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO SWITCH SO LATE. NOW I GET TO DELIVER RIGHT DOWN THE STREET! AND I FEEL SO STRESS FREE!
