It's that time of year, or you are one of those organized mothers who have already done this but as I can be a procrastinator I'm a tad slow, for immunizations to enter school. My "baby" will be entering kindergarten this coming up year and she needs to have their immunizations up to date. I confess, my family and I moved last year in August and I have still not found a pediatrician for my three daughters. Oh- the horror! I know, I know... but they've been well and when I did make some phone calls last year, no pediatricians were accepting new patients. What? That's a story for another day....
I tried again today to make an appointment for my daughters and all I get are voicemails. What's up with that? I guess the health industry is not having any backlash in this economy? I promise they will have their immunizations up to date by next school year: I'm trying!
Before we moved my children went to the pediatrician I went to. Dr. K is a male. Now that I have a new option of finding a pediatrician, I'm thinking maybe they would feel more comfortable with a woman. I mean, we are of the same kind. My oldest will be eleven this year and I can remember going to my male doctor and being a little freaked out about him checking me out in certain places. Maybe she'll feel more comfortable with a woman?
Are your children's doctor's the same sex as they are? Should it matter?
