Clearance Granted

Baby N's doctor signed a clearance for surgery tomorrow. Called surgeon's office and surgery still scheduled at 9am tomorrow.

You'll never guess who called L yesterday..

the nurse from the cleft team in New Orleans

Nurse: I was going through our files and I see you have not scheduled baby N for surgery

L: He is getting it done by another doctor. Lisa and I have been trying to call your office for 3 months to schedule surgery and kept getting the run around and told ya'll were booked up several months. While waiting, we scheduled consults with 2 other doctors, before ya'll returned our calls and he is having surgery on Friday.

Nurse: If he can get you in Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, will you let him do the surgery?

L: Nope!

Two hours later the doctor calls. Him and L have words, but basically L told him he was a good doctor and was looking forward to working with him, but we kept getting the run around from his staff about scheduling surgery. He also mentioned that the doctor we were seeing wasn't worried about whether baby N would die in two years.

It ended in an apology and the doctor's face probably dropping as he will not be able to send the bill to medicaid for the expensive procedures he will be requiring. He also mentioned that he would not work on him after another doctor started.

I'm sure he'll call OCS and bitch, but they will and always have backed us up!

You snooze, you loose!

I need my baby's mouth fixed and I don' t have to time to screw around with them anymore.
