switching my son's pediatrician

Shaki • Mommy to Prince JoJo 👶🏽💙 #JA#PR 🇯🇲🇵🇷

 

A couple months ago I tip toed around the idea of switching JoJo's pediatrician for a number of reasons ; 

1) I feel like his primary physician rarely sees him, it's either a PA or another doctor 

2) for the above reason it's like he BARELY knows jojo, I mean I don't expect him to know JoJo's favorite nursery rhyme or his favorite toy.. but in the case that god forbid JoJo becomes ill, he will know my son well enough to know what's wrong or how to treat him.. based on him & not just off of his experience.. 

So then I said ok what the heck.. 

All I need is for them to tell me his weight 

His height and if I'm on the right track as a parent and him with his growth 

but then after today's appointment I'm having second thoughts ..

So , a PA came in to give jojo a fingerstick test to check for anemia or whatever.. 

Ok cool ..

So she sticks jojo in the finger, blood starts to appear, now jojo is freaking out because he never saw his own blood before lol , so he's squirming around but I managed to keep him still enough that she can finish getting blood in these tiny like tubes. Now she's having a hard time, idk if it's because she rarely conducts these test or she's just rushing to get off because it's Sunday & JoJo's the last patient .. 

Yeah that's it!

So at this point my hand & JoJo's hand is covered in blood! While she's still trying to fill her tube.. ok

Now she's finished, & leaves me to clean up the mess & stop the bleeding (that's fine he's my son ) but she saw me struggling and just walked on out . Left me a tiny ass minion bandaid and a tiny ass piece of gauze .. thanks biiiiiiiotch !

WAIT! That's not the end of it 

JoJo's doctor is finally seeing him (hip hip hooray) 

So he asks me "HES still taking similac every 3 hrs right"

*Pay attention to the way he refers to Johan*

🙄 meanwhile I spoke to him 5 months ago and we agreed to switch him to enfamil because he confirmed that similac was the cause of constipation, 

Ok whatever maybe he just didn't get to update his record 

Doctor: you are going to begin to give her more table food 

Me: *thinking* did he say "her"? Maybe it's just a honest mistake. He's probably just tired it's Sunday 

Doctor: can you lay her down for me just want to do a quick check up.

Okay he said it again wth! 

So he opens JoJo's diaper to do the usual check and then corrects himself and says "HIM" 

really 

Currently looking for a new doctor!
