For the record.....
1) I hate being poor
2) As a result of being poor, I FUCKING HATE Medical and all that goes along with it.
I finally got through to the OB clinic that is connected with the hospital today and went in to fill out paper work and to get a doctor (I had one up until like..... I was five months but they decided to change my doctor on me). HOWEVER, she ran my medical card number and it showed what health care plan im on and the doctor that that comes with. CONSEQUENTLY, I CANNOT go to the A.V.
O.B clinic until i have that changed because I already have a doctor. Well I told her that Im not eligable to go to that doctor now because I have moved (the doctor is in valencia) and she told me that I then have to change the entire health plan because it doesnt cover the ob clinic (or much of anything in the av for that matter). SOO I call the number that my case worker gave me and it rang for like 10 fucking minutes.... no one answers. So I call the ACTUAL medical help line, and the girl there takes all my information and then asks where I would like to change my coverage to. I told her, and she told me that I cant just change it to an OB, I have to have a family/general practioner. WHEN they change that then the General practioner can refer to the ob. SOOO i call back to the av ob clinic and she says that she has no idea who i can call and doesnt know the names of any doctors that are covered under the same plan that they are (so that I would actually be able to be refered to the ob I want to go to). SO I call my case worker again to see if she knows why the other office wasnt answering the phone or if there is anyone else I can call. She says she has no clue, but tried calling them herself and also found that there was no answer..... so the only explination she could give me was that they have these special holidays that certain departments get occasionaly... but they are always on a friday. GO FUCKING FIGURE.
SO ... here I sit, still with no doctor. I have got to wait until MONDAY to call that office again (or go in personally.... which seems like a better plan I just dont want to get up early because I work... lol). Im getting fed up with this. I have no ob so if I go into labor I've got to wait around for the doctor on call (which god knows how long that could take). I dont know what my current health plan covers, or who it covers.... so I dont have a pediatrician picked out yet INCASE I do go into early labor. SOO if my baby DOES come early, he as well with have to go with whatever pediatrics team they have on call, and then after we take him home will have NO doctor until all this gets settled.
Im begining to understand why people hate doctors. But then again..... if I were more financially apt (which some people have managed to shove in my face) then I would have the worlds BEST team and get the BEST care for myself and unborn baby.... well I say FUCK YOU RICH PEOPLE!!!!!!
Oh and btw... it could take up to a month (yes A FUCKING MONTH) for everything to change and go into effect. Hmmm im due in 1.5 mo....... cutting it a little close???
