What Happened to House Calls?
Man, have we really reached a day when you no longer know when your kid is suppose to go to the doctor? Are you no longer told?
The daycare is updating their paperwork and they are in need of shot records and health releases. Basically, they need a note saying my kids are healthy and will not spread the dreaded cooties. Shot record - done. Simple enough, I must write a request, they must fax it to me, and I must fax it to the daycare. Like I said, done. Come to find out, they can't say my kids are healthy. They haven't had a physical lately, like since Sept. 2003. As if we don't see the doctor bi-weekly (trust me, three kids under the age of 10 - it feels like bi-weekly), that doesn't count because we didn't take them in and pay our co-pay to find out they were healthy for once. Not only do we not know if they're "healthy"? My daughter is now behind on her shots. I thought places called you and said, "by the way, blah is coming up on another set of shots. when would you like to schedule an appointment?" No call, just a nonchalant "oh, i guess we should get them in your four and half year old should have come in already for her four year shots. by the way your youngest should have had a fifteen month check-up. let's just combine that with the eighteen month and get him current with his shots."
PEOPLE, I'M ONLY THEIR PARENT!!! I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO SEE YOU!!!
I JUST TRY TO KEEP THEM ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOU!!!
I miss the days of house calls.
hahaha
Like I was alive during the days of house calls, I'm just a kid myself.
I wonder if I've had all my shots????
Honey, I'm way past the shots. I'm straight into the pills now.
