I think I insulted him...

Last time, when I was pregnant with Natasha I did not have a family doctor. Nothing has changed since then, I still do not have a family doctor. So last time, I went to the clinic near my home, said I was pregnant, peed on a stick to prove it and easily got a referral to Grace Maternity Clinic. I figured this was 'standard' and would not be an issue to do the same thing for this pregnancy.

This time though, we've moved and the Low Risk Clinic is a mere 5 min. drive from our house, so very convenient. I thought nothing of going to the clinic near my house and requesting said referral, but I think I insulted the Doctor that was in that day by asking for it. Tash's doctor was not in so I saw Dr. S, who I've seen before and am not overly happy with.

Anywho, he comes into the exam room and asks what I'm there for. I explain that I'm pregnant, June 30th was the first day of my last period and that I wanted a referral to the LR Clinic on 96th. He gives me this 'look' and was a bit uppity and said "Well I have never done that before. Myself and my associates look after mothers until their 28th week doing all the tests until then, then refer them to the clinic to catch the baby."

I was like oh..well..last time..and I explained about last time. He stares at me again and asks if I have a family doctor. I told him my daughter saw Dr. F but I did not. Long story short he leaves the room, returns with a notepad and gives me the referral but makes me feel shitty and repeats several times that he NEVER does this and he's only doing it because I see one of his associates. After he finishes writing it he tells me he would prefer not to see me again and that I see Dr. F for all my future 'needs'. sigh.

I was going to ask for a 'script for Preg-Vit but decided not to since he was being snippy. When I go to the front desk I ask when Dr. Fu is in next and find out not until the 27th. gah! Then that afternoon they call me to say they booked my first pre-natal apt. and it's not until Dec. 16th! I'll be 20w by then. I asked her what about my 13w nuchal and the 18-20w one? She tells me to return to their medical clinic to get a requisition for that. Again GAH!!!

So I have to wait until the 27th when Dr. Fu returns from vacation to get my nuchal u/s, my Preg-Vit 'script and everything else. Only 5w in and I'm already annoyed.
