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
