So, my big u/s is tomorrow, when I will actually be 21 weeks. I feel like it has been a long wait. The office scheduled it for tomorrow due to my doctor's schedule... I went along with no fuss even though I've been dying to get a peek at the kiddo & hopefully find out gender.
I got a call at 4:30pm on Friday from the doctors' office telling me that had to reschedule me. I asked if I could keep the u/s appt and see the doctor another time. No way - ok, I get it, if there's something wrong on the u/s, they want the doctor to be able to tell you. I ask if I can see another doctor after the u/s because, honestly, I could care less who I see - I just want my u/s!!! After being put on hold for about 10 minutes, they ask to call me back because the schedule system is down on the computer. Here is the message they left: "Well, we've decided to let you keep your u/s appt and we'll just move some other people around to make room and you'll see your doctor at 9:45."
Ummm, hello, I scheduled that u/s & appt a month ago. Who the heck do you have to move around?!?! DH thought the doc had decided she didn't want to work MLK Day and that's why they were arranging... apparently not. So, here's the thing: you're an OB office so you deal with pregnant women all the time. Why would you try to move the chick with the 20 week u/s as opposed to one of the other people who is just having a regular check and hasn't been looking forward to it for WEEKS? :nono:
Thanks for letting me vent. It probably would not have pissed me off as much if they had called, explained WHY they needed to change it and then asked if I would be willing.
