Changing Doctors

Today the kids all had their first appointment with their new pediatrician. I can't say that it went smoothly. Gage is a VERY shy little boy and so panics when people try to talk to him, or even dare to look at him. This doesn't explain all the random women he flirts with when we're out and about but I suppose that's another post in and of itself.  Anyhow, he was NOT happy at all. Not to mention, I'm not a huge fan of the pediatrician we saw.


On my way over I thought to myself: If we don't like this one, we can just go see a new one.  And then after checking in I was handed a stack of papers to fill out for EACH child. My hand was cramping before I got done with the first kid's paperwork. The paperwork alone is enough to discourage people from changing doctors! My goodness! 


I don't really like the doctor, you know the type that "talk down" to you instead of "with you." She assumed a lot of things that I had to keep correcting her on, even when I had already told her. Very frustrating. I'm hoping we don't have to see her consistently as there are other pediatricians in the same practice. 


If they want us to keep seeing her specifically, I'm going to have to prep for more paperwork...
