After seven years, it's time to change Pediatricians. Very much with a sad heart, it's just time. I refuse to be treated rudely by office staff and I've had enough. I've been on the edge for some time now due to how busy he is, he's the only Doctor so when he's busy, we wait. Gladly, but still, we wait. He's been getting forgetful on what he said on prior visits because he's running himself ragged. I put all that aside because the Oldest has a bond with him, trusts him. Ignored that nagging voice that it was time to change. Today, when that lady spoke to me in the manner that she did, I hung up that phone, wiped away the tears that were stinging my eyes (she was quite rude and sometimes you cry from anger you know.....am I the only one?) and that set the wheels in motion.
I have written him the letter, I have researched the best Pediatrician in our area that is closest to our house, gone and filled out the release form for records and before I knew it, it was a done deal. The letter will get mailed tomorrow; I feel I owe him an explanation and he needs to know he ultimately lost us because of his rude and curt staff (really the other stuff should have pushed me out the door but this was the last straw).
It's done. Cry about it no more, worry over it no more. It's the right thing. The Oldest can form a bond with the new Doctor. Right?
Right.

You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.

This afternoon at about 4 pm I called our Ped's office. Explained that the pox were mulitpling and he couldnt swallow. They said to bring him in the side door, right now. So we did. They gave Derek some meds that I swear he's already a bit more comfortable.
I love our Ped. It's one of the most important people in your life.
I could just imagine how hard changing would be but it truly is about the whole staff and the office etc.
Sorry you had to do that but you'll find the right place.
