Just Answer The Question Please....

I'm one of those moms that takes my baby for his well baby checkups on the day he turns a certain age. For example i scheduled his 3 month checkup on the day he turned exactly 3 months and so on for 6 mo, 9 mo, 1 year....Yes, im crazy like that! Anyways, this morning it hit me that Landon hasn't been to the doctor for his 2 year well checkup, so i decided to call the doctor's office to see if he needs any shots.

What transpired next made me feel like a complete idiot and a little, well a lot...irritated.

Me: Hey, my son turned 2 in January and i just realized that he hasn't been to the doctor for his 2 year well check up. Is he up to date on all of his shots?

Receptionist: ..............sits there in silence

Me: I haven't received anything in the mail about his shots or making him an appointment so i just wanted to call and make sure he was up to date.

Receptionist: Whats his date of birth

Me: 1/3/08

Receptionist: Landon Hall?

Me: Yes mam

Receptionist: He hasn't been in for his 2 year check up.!.!.!

Me: REALLY, I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT....ok, that's what i was thinking. What i really said was "No mam, he hasn't been in. Can you tell me if he is up to date on his shots?"

Receptionist: Are you needing to make an appointment?

Me: Well im not sure....if he is up to date on his shots, then no, but if he needs 2 year shots, then yes i will need to make an appointment. Can you check to see if he is up to date on his shots?

Receptionist: Yes, hold one minute please.....***after about 5 minutes****....Mam, he has had his 1 year shots and his 18 month shots.

Me: Ok, Well does he need any shots for 2 years?

Receptionist: No, we don't give shots for 2 years...he wont need any more until he starts school. Would you still like to make an appointment?

Me: ***dropping my head and shaking it in disbelief**** No mam...that's all i needed. Thank you!

Jason and I don't particularly care for this clinic, but its the only pediatric clinic in New Albany and most people highly recommend them. Thankfully, the doctors aren't complete idiots, i mean a little off, like the receptionist are! ;)
