At five weeks, three days, my pants are tight. My underwear are totally uncomfortable. I'm switching to maternity underwear in the morning. Hooray.
I called the doctor to make my first OB appointment today -- to clarify, non-fertility OB, OB appointment. I stay with my fertility doctor until 8 - 10 weeks.
When I called I was informed that my doctor's really backed up and they can't get me in until September. WHOA NELLY -- We already have wait times like this to see doctors and people want to socialize medicine.
That's re-tar-ded.
I honest-to-God think that people who think socialized medicine is a good idea might be retarded. That or they just refuse to learn anything about medical care.
In the case that they are retarded, I would be happy to pay for their medical care, because they can't learn to know any better.
Anyway, I told them that was unacceptable (because this is not fucking Canada) and now I magically have an appointment the week of August 10.
On a completely related note, I'm thinking about switching doctors.
As a fertility patient, you get really spoiled with good health care. See, when the majority of what you're paying is out of pocket, you get much better service. Then you move on over to the HMO/PPO and it's shit.
I have first hand experience that more regulation = much crappier...but don't trust me and my first hand experience. Trust what the media and your political puppets tell you, retards.

If you don't feel like your doctor cares for you, fire them and get a new one. :)
That's the thing...she does care about me -- she's very thoughtful, listens to every question I have and spends as much time with me as I request.
The issue is that her patient load is already at max capacity. With the proposed health care "reform" she'll most likely need or even HAVE to increase her patient load...thereby making things worse.
The net of it though, I condemn those of my sex who support this reform. We've fought so hard for so long to keep government control away from our bodies...then we thoughtlessly hand over full access to our bodies, to the government.
It's stupid. It's a slap in the face to those who've fought so hard for people who just don't care...and most people aren't even willing to think about the reprocussions to our personal freedoms.
Unforgiveably ignorant.
