that's me.  i feel that way a lot.  it usually involves work.  you feel a certain loyalty to someone.  especially if they've been referred to you.
that's sort of how i feel with my doctor.
don't get me wrong.  i like her, i do.  she delivered the news of the miscarriage professionally [maybe not as empathetic as i would have liked, but i'm sure that's a hard spot].  i trusted her with my d&c.  i was in good hands.  she answered my questions and listened to my concerns.  she was concerned about my emotional state following the m/c [and by concerned, i mean...she inquired about it and was willing to talk].  she called me personally.
but could she do more?
call it irrational, but i just get this feeling like i need to stick with her because she knows my history...the whole back story...she knows the steps we've taken.  
does she?  or am i just a chart?  if that's the case...i could be someone else's chart.  and i might just end up loving them.  because, right now, i just like her.
...
.....let's see what thursday brings.  but, i'm pretty sure i'm in the market for a new doctor.
 
 

don't stick with someone you only like-especially when there are plenty of docs I know you would LOVE
ReplyDeleteI was nervous about switching doctors for the same reason. I was apprehensive about starting over, retelling my story. I was concerned a new doctor wouldn't really understand my whole history. The consult with my new doctor was awesome. I knew he took the time and read every bit of my file. He referenced things from my early medical history. I liked that. I felt like he had always been my doctor.
ReplyDeleteEveryone deserves a doctor they love! Just follow your heart and do what feels right.
Yes you deserve ONLY the best Lyndz.
ReplyDeleteHi Lyndsay,
ReplyDeleteI loved my doctor and I believe her practice specializes in fertility issues. Her name is Laurie Klabi (Healthcare group for Women) at MoBap. My friend just got pregnant on Chlomid after trying for a while so don't get discouraged!! You are welcome to come and practice mommyhood over at my place if you need a baby "fix." Hattie would love some new company :) -Kate
