Doctors...

Well, that was the most useless two hours I've spent in sometime.

Scene - Doctor's waiting room.

Kat enters, a little nervous but under control. She proceeds to stand in-line for ten minutes to get checked in. After filling out paperwork, she settles down in the chairs to read her book and wait.

*time passes*

Over fourty-five minutes later, half an hour after her appointment was scheduled, she is called back to a room. Blood pressure is taken and the intern leaves with reassurances that the doctor will be in shortly. Kat goes back to reading her book.

Thirty minutes later a elderly female doctor comes in and says, "I'd like you to take a preganacy test."

Kat blinks at the doctor for a few moments, "I haven't had sex in over a year and a half."

The doctor looks at Kat for a few moments and says, "Well, then, that's unlikely. Do you have Clamydia or anything else like that? These things stay in your system for years..."

Kat blinks a few more times and points to the place on her recored that say she was tested for these things not too long ago.

The doctor pauses and nods slowly, "Are you sure that no male has ejaculated near you recently? I really think that this is a sign of you miscarying."

Kat blinks a few more times, trying to decide if this is funny or not. "Unless someone is sneaking into my room at night and either having sex with me or masturbating on me, I'm absolutely certain about it, yes."

The doctor nods again, looking owlish. "Are you taking any drugs recrationally?"

Kat sighs softly, "No."

The doctor apparently does not believe Kat and askes her more drug related questions. Afterwards there is poking and prodding and nothing revealed. "Well, we can up the strength of your birth control pills. If that doesn't stop the bleeding come back in and we'll go inside and look for tears."

Kat sighs and nods not really wanting anymore poking and prodding today. Kat gets her new prescription and heads home.

So, that was useful. Great. I'm miscarrying the second Immaculate Conception. Or something.

I know a doctor in Auburn (which my mom worked with) that I would trust for this kinda stuff. Only one of the few down there would I even mention to ya, but he's a good doctor. Dr. Snyder. The rest of em, well, they aren't as good.

Good idea trying the pills first to see if they work / don't work. If they don't go back in to the same doctor and see what they say.

They may want to try different things first, and then move on from there. Most doctors are hesitant to go full force unless it's big fat warning signs...

The plan..

That was the plan so far. I still wouldn't mind contact info for the doctor you'd reccomend though. I'm not sure how I'd get down there, but it is good to have options.

Dr. Snyder
Valley Medical Center.
There's one in Auburn, and one in Fed Way.
