OK so that sounds about right, but doesn't anyone think its excessive considering a)they weren't told it would be that much b) the amount of time and effort put into the visits and c) there was nothing wrong with my baby anyway and d) the paed is obviously picking a number out of the air and charging it because he can??
It sounds like a bit of a scam to me. I mean, the total amount of time this guy spent with my baby was probably no more than say 2 mins each visit and lets say 5 - 10 mins max on the day he was born although I have no idea if he was even there or not. So thats $460 for 9 -14 minutes work.
Actually I was just talking to my husband and I assumed that the Paed did the check on the day he was born in the theatre or while I was in recovery, but my husband said that he was with the baby the whole time from birth until I got to the room and he didn't see a paed the whole time (he was of ethnic origin so he said he would have remembered him). So unless he checked him after around 9pm at night when they took him to the nursery...but even if thats the case, i wasn't present, and I don't have any proof that he was seen by a Paed, no notes, feedback, nothing.....
