Y'know what I realised earlier today, on the subject of calling midwives when there's any (real or perceived) problem? Again, because I'm so used to the hospital route - and really any kind of medical thing - I've never had someone I can just call up personally and talk to. Any GP appointment I've had in the past has just been go into the clinic and see whoever's there. Hospital appointments in pregnancy, pretty much the same deal aside from seeing the same OB for the last few weeks of pregnancy with Amelia and every now and then with Ianto. If there's an emergency (or it's the middle of the night and I don't think the 24-hour GP is enough), we go to the emergency room of the hospital. It's never been the same person/people I see every time. So I think that's why I'd be hesitant to call Kelly and Jan - I'm just not used to someone being "on call" just for me! I see whoever I'm sent to, usually. It's an odd experience for me to have ongoing care in any way
The thing that got me thinking about it was that I got a bill from the RWH wanting more money for my notesI was going to call Kelly to ask if that's normal - it's going to be about $65 all up - but I thought I'd ask here first. I thought it was just the one fee and that was it, now they want copying fees and searching fees?! Really? Ianto's were free... Could it just be because Amelia's might be more detailed?
