It's been an odd day. Worked all day chasing around a 3 year old that still occasionally calls me mommy. Went to a meeting I had no interest in because DF was going to be there. Went out to eat even though I had eaten so I wouldn't be alone. Now we're quietly sitting waiting to go to bed and I'm reflecting on the past week.
Doctor #4, the first RE was a bust. I hate car salesmen. I just don't feel the need for certain things the first time I meet a doctor. I came in for a second opinion with printed lab work and an image disc and you think fingering me is going to tell you something? That's backwards at the very least.
I'm going to get printed copies of the test results early next week. I've decided after the crap I've been through recently not only to double check everything I'm told to the Nth degree, but I'm also going to keep my own copy of my medical file. I doubt I'm going back to Doctor #1 or #4 at this point, so on to #5.
Doctor #5
Pros
-They have financing. I don't have to wait until I come up with cash or get on DFs insurance. I'm willing to eat the extra cost over time if it means not waiting another six months to a year and a half.
-They are willing to look at all the tests I can bring them and use as much of it as possible to avoid retesting.
-They don't do physical exams on the first visit.
-They seemed genuinely horrified by my whole ordeal.
Cons
-They are further away 5 min vs 35 min
DF talked to them and they are trying to fit us in for next Saturday. They don't normally do consults on the weekends, but DF really can't take off any more work. So I guess we'll see.
