I love it when the villain is a good guy!

I love those movies where the villain, in the end, saves the day and turns out to have been a good guy all along. My experience with the high risk specialist was like those movies. After hearing the ominous stories from nurses and patients alike, I was expecting my appointment to be like meeting Dr. House in real life. Don't get me wrong, the guy is not a chit-chatter kind of guy, but I wasn't feeling in the mood for chit-chat anyway. I wanted answers.

So he sat down with me and went through my medical history and the problems with this current pregnancy, and he did so very thoroughly. After consulting with him, he was convinced that I was in no need of the special services offered out at Fresno and that Clovis Hospital was more than capable of taking care of my special needs.

The best part was that he didn't say "I'll get a message to your doctor"... instead he yelled at his nurse "Get her doctor on the phone!" (which might be why the nurses don't care for this doctor). He immediately got on the phone with my referring doctor, gave him some special instructions with regards to my care and ensured that my c-section date remained the same! Happy Day! He got stuff done, including getting me into another specialized doctor (that is not pregnancy related) that I have been waiting months to try to get into. At the end of it all, he looked at me and asked if there was anything he was missing. I felt like I was disappointing him in that everything had already been taken care of by that point... he was ready to do some more problem solving.

Long story short, everything has resolved and we feel very blessed to have so many doctors looking after the welfare of me and the baby to come. And thank you to all of the people praying for us throughout this pregnancy.
