Doctors...Waiting...

How long do you wait for your doctor to be seen? I mean, actually sitting there...waiting in the waiting room to be called back...then, how much longer do you wait in that cold room, looking and trying out the ear looker-into thing (come on! I know you do it too :) ). Well...I for one am tired of waiting! My daughters and husband all have WONDERFUL doctors that get us in within 10 minutes of arriving. No questions asked. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my endocrinologist...and probably the longest wait I have had is 45 with my OB/GYN, but they have babies to deliver and they're fantastic. It almost doesn't seem bothersome and it's not a regular wait, that's for sure.
With our insurance, I have to go to the same doctors who practice with the same hospital. For us to keep my OB/GYN and my endocrinologist, I have to pick a Beaumont primary care physician. I have been through 3 doctors in 3 years! Today, I tried a new doctor because we had to have an insurance paper filled out. I waited 50 minutes!!! No call back to the room, nothing. When you ask and they say they will "be right with you", what does that really mean? I have a 2 year old who is bouncing off the walls (the appt. was scheduled 1.5 to 2 hours before her nap time) and a 2 month old. How long would you wait? I am sooo tired of doctors that make you wait. It's ridiculous. I left my old doctor for the same reason. It's just bothersome when you know they are easily raking in $150-$200 just for seeing you!! So...I told the office manager I would not be coming back. She apologized up and down and seemed sympathetic. Then, out of the blue, my "new" doctor...the one I was supposed to meet for the first time today....called! She, too, apologized. Of course, they have excuses, but what to do? Do you give them another chance? The doctor told me to call her personal voice mail to schedule an appointment and as soon as I arrived, I would be taken back. I was a little shocked...and relieved to learn this, but this clinic is also like a mega-clinic. I'm talking 14 doctors...and a 24/7 care. I am not sure I want to be another number...then again, maybe I'm not??
So today it is W-A-R-M!!!! YEAH!!! So, as soon as McKenzie wakes up from her nap, we're headed to the park and then tonight it's swim lessons. Kylie...I put her down last night at 9:30 (trying to impose a new sleep schedule). She slept unitl 2:30 and then woke up again at 5. Not too bad! I can handle that....and the down time. Unfortunately, I fell asleep right after I laid her down at 9:30. She's been awake now since about 10 or so and it's 2:10 as I type this. It's about time for that afternoon nap. She's a bit cranky :)
But...it's great. I love where we're at as a family. Last night, I told Rob that I don't think there's ever going to be a part of me that doesn't want baby #3.....is that crazy? I know...not yet. I am just REALLY contemplating. :) Kylie's only 2 months old. Why am I thinking about this? But...that's where we're at. :) Onto park-playing and swim lessons. :) It doesn't get much better than this....
