Kings Mountain and New Years Resolutions

Today, Jeff, myself, and the kids are going to Kings Mountain to take Sam to the Doctor. This is a doctor that specializes in natural medicines. Please pray that we will be given a course of direction for Sam. We are excited about this because the lady we talked to assured us that they would be able to help. That makes such a great impression. She didn't say,"We might be able to or we'll try." We love to hear,"We will help!"
Now, I do have alot of faults, but one thing that I normally have is patience. Well, not today. Sam had labs drawn on him 2 weeks ago. The doctor was very concerned about Sam and gave me a couple of scenarios of things that could be wrong with Sam. These were not normally things that you want to think about your son having to deal with. Knowing that, he assured us that we would get the results in a week at the latest. While I was in the office, the Doctor also told me that he had just gotten off the phone with a very angry mother. He said that she was upset that she had gotten the bill for her child's appointment but had not seen or heard about any of his test results. He then told me that it was his New Years Resolution that he would do better with doing that. This made me a little nervous but what can you do with the fact that that he is the only specialist in our area? AND, surely since he told me about this, he would not do the same to me. Right? Well, I called the office today and they told me that the results were in last week, but that he had been off for a couple of days. Then, I asked if he could read them today and they told me that he was off today,too. They also told me that he is very behind and may not get to them tomorrow. No one else can read the results. Now if someone make ridiculous amounts of money can they not go to work and get their job done? Or hire some extra help? Not to mention how unwarm their office seems to be. There are signs that remind you to bring no other children to the office, do not call the office for results,do not be late. The office kind of gives off the feel "No soup for you!"(Seinfield) I know that this is alot of venting but one of my purposes of this website is to journal every ordeal we face with Sam. That way, I can help some one else in a similar situation. Let's just say that I will not be referring this Doctor to anyone. AND...my New Years resolution is to no longer see mediocre doctors and to find the very best ones in this country. No matter what!!!!!!!
