Ok so I have come to the realization that I am a B*tch....... It's just plain and simple.... I try hard to be nice but "trying" isn't cutting it anymore.... Maybe it's simply I try too hard & put off some kind of attitude that leads people to believe that I can be run over & that I won't fight back.......I don't see it that way but that's what I've been told....
The strange thing is when that happens and I turn into a wilda beast......... folks often do a *double take* and I end up being "The B*tch" in the situation because I dared to stand up to them....
Today was a fine example of that.... My youngest son had to be taken into the ER earlier..... 104 Temp, etc. etc. I tried to keep my mouth shut and let the doctor do his job but when he comes back to me after examining my son for 45 seconds and tells me "It's a Viral" somehow I feel the need to shove his head up his rectum.....
I explain to him that Logan is prone to certain things and that I am very suspicious of an ear infection could he please check him again.... He didn't bother to and instead argued with me about my choice to not immunize my children, (Big EFFIN mistake buddy) Sooooo I went into "Son of Satan" mode and he lasted maybe 20 seconds before jogging out of the exam room :snort:
I then asked the triage nurse to call my pediatrician (GOD I LOVE MY PEDIATRICIAN) *Seriously he IS the best* he was double booked today and told me to take logan to the ER.... (ANYWAY)
Doc calls the ER doc within 5-10 minutes and asks him what is going on..... I can easily overhear ER docs side of the convo and he was NOT happy with Logan's doc.... 10 Minutes later I get discharge papers with "orders" stating that he is to go into his pediatrician within 48 hours....As I am talking to the nurse who is discharging us I again explain that I am very concerned that this is an ear infection with my lil guy and I don't want him to go through two days of misery..... (I was back to "Nice" mode) This twit then smiles and says "Well "Viral" can include an ear infection and Dr. XXXXX does not believe in prescribing anti-biotics for ear infections.... He feels they can be treated with love and attention"
All the time I am processing this in my brain with my lil guy sitting on my lap and then when he gets to that last part I think to myself... WTF did this moron just say to me.....
Love and Attention? Soooooo I angrily (but politely) explain to this germ of a being that my son gets enough love and attention for 10 children and that it obviously wasn't working to cure the Otitis Media........
That shut "it" up but I'm left this evening with a lil one whose temp is back to 103 and not himself..
It's gonna be a long night........ but then again..... that's what being a "Mommy" is all about.....
