This had to of been THE shortest doctor’s appointment we’ve ever had.
We waited for the doctor for at least 20 minutes, while the actual appointment lasted less than 3 minutes.
No exaggeration.
Complete let down.
We didn’t really expect to have a long appointment, since usually they go through the usual routine (weight check, blood pressure check, answer any questions I have), and then Sarah comes in, b.s.’s with us for little bit, and checks the heartbeat, but with this being our first appointment with Dr. Silverstein, we expected something a little longer than 3 minutes.
The nurse brought us in, and like usual went through the usual stuff and told us the doctor would be in shortly. A short 20-25 minutes later, Dr. Silverstein came in.
Here is a breakdown of the appointment:
Doctor comes in.
Says hi.
Tells me to lay down.
Measures my stomach.
Feels around and tells us where her head and butt are (which was actually pretty neat).
Sticks the sonogram on my stomach for about 3.5 seconds to hear the heartbeat.
Asks us what we are doing for Thanksgiving.
Tells us to take my file to the front desk and says goodbye.
Doctor leaves.
She says nothing about who she is, asks nothing about who we are, doesn’t even say “Nice to meet you.” It was exactly what I thought it would be with her. Super rushy, because that’s exactly how she was with Kate’s delivery.
Ulgh.
And to top it off, Sarah didn't write in our chart that we were due for an ultrasound, so we didn't get one. They said they would talk to her about it, but they didn't see a reason for us to have one. Maybe I want to see my baby? Hello?!
A funny thing that came out of this appointment though is that Mike calls her ManBearPig because she had a mustache. Hilarious.
Oh well. Next time we meet with Dr. Miguel Bermeo. Hopefully he’ll turn out better and actually have a little bit of a conversation with us.
