My Own Little World

So I've been having issues with my doctor. Well today was the final straw. I believe in my last post he told me he would not induce me until I was two weeks past due. He said it was Texas state law and there was nothing he could do about it. Which I don't even know why he brought it up we were talking about something completely different. For some reason he assumed I wanted to be induced. Which I know he was giving me a load of crap because there isn't a law like there here in Texas. Anyhow this morning I was watching t.v. and the phone rings. It was my doctor's office calling to see if I wanted to be induced. I started asking questions and she told me they set up inductions 1 WEEK before you are due. She wanted to know if I wanted to have Abby this weekend. I was speechless considering I knew he lied and now this confirmed it. Well I had asked something and she placed me on hold. She came back on the phone and said she was so sorry she had the wrong patient. I then asked her why he would induce someone else a week before their due date but, wouldn't consider it for me. She had the nerve to tell me that wasn't what she was calling for. Um bull because we were talking about it. You got me mixed up with someone else. And now you are covering up for it. I was so mad I couldn't see straight. I hate being lied to. Plus, it doesn't help I've been sleep deprived the past few days. So I called the hospital where I'm supposed to have Abby and asked them who to talk to about a complaint with a doctor.

The guy listened to me for a little bit and although he said he believes we had a misunderstanding he agreed I needed to find another doctor. He gave me a few numbers and told me to give them a try. The first one I called sounded like they would take me. Until they found out I had medicaid. So that was out. Then I called another number who referred doctors. The first one I called from that list agreed to take me. I told the lady that answered the phone exactly what happened with my doctor. She was speechless. She also confirmed my doctor had lied to me about the "Texas state law". I told her I felt that his whole problem with me is I'm overweight. Its always been an issue with him. She told me it didn't matter. That it could make me high risk but, as a doctor he should have provided excellent care regardless. Also told me to talk to the doctor when I go in Wednesday and he would tell me who I can complain to other then the Texas Medical Board. So I have an appointment with my new doctor the 22nd at 11 in the morning. I am so happy they were willing to take me even though I'm 39 weeks pregnant.
