| Where's Dr. Feelgood? |
I feel like the only way I'll be able to get a few minutes with a Dr. is by listening to "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue. Seriously. So my OBGYN that I LOVED from my last/first pregnancy has seemed to vanish into thin air. I can't even find a lead on her. I went to extreme measures to even look to see if she had a personal home phone number published in the new phonebook just so that I could establish that she's even living in this general area. I'm that desperate and in love with this particular OBGYN from her tattooed foot and crazy hair dye to the way that she apologized and sympathized at each thing she did while you're feet are above your head as you get examined. As much as I love the Midwife nurse that I saw last year in her place because she was sick at the time of my appointment and I got juggled to someone else, she still wouldn't be a Dr I could have as my obstetrics specialist so what's the point? I finally gave in today and called the insurance to check to make sure it was on the up and up and I'm going to have my primary care physician see me to do my annual gyno exam. What fun.
It's not that I don't love her, I honestly do! Best Dr I've had since I left my Pediatrician to be exact, but there is one thing. She's pregnant. Ugh! Not only that but I told her back in May when I saw her last that I was trying again and thought I might be pregnant and now, here it is, Sept. and nothing. Which is okay because I know that if anyone will help me out it will be here because she's very precise about everything she needs to do to correctly diagnose and treat you, but I don't want to seem like a hypocondriac when I go in there on Sept. whatever and say, "Okay. I'v been off my BC Pills since March, irregular periods since then, trying like hell, nothing's happening. I also feel crappy. I need my thyroid and my iron checked. Please let me lay down while you do it because I'm a fainter. Thanks."
I mean, what person over 60 goes in there and wants tests done before they hit the waiting room. I've pretty much made even the receptionist have a nosebleed from my questions anyways so why not go to the head honcho with the M.D. and boss around my checklist of things. And what's worse is that I'm about 2 days from my latest time I've gotten a period, and 1 negative pregnancy test but still could be pregnant and already I'm holy cowing it up. What loon does this?! Oh the migrane I'm giving myself. You'd think with all this torture that I'd be a tie me up and whip me type girl, but alas... just an emotionally psychological sadist, not a physical one. |
