I've come to the conclusion that the doctors in my town are only in it for the money. My "primary care physician" tells me I have aortic reguritation (traces of blood leak backwards in through the valves when it should be going at a constant fowards flow because my valve slams shut) so I am suppose to be premedicated for all dental work for fear of infection. Ok so I am three months into my pregnancy and my dentist gets a letter stating I no longer need to be premedicated. Red flag for me. I call the doctor and they tell me oh you'll have to come in for a office visit (office copay) before we send you back to the cardiologist (bigger copay) for a recheck as per my obgyn. So I decide to just go on a referal from my obgyn to a certified cardiologist becuase at this point I'm not feeling the concern from primary care doctor. I go to my appointment at the cardiologist (bigger copay) and he does the tests with the end results that there is nothing wrong with me heart and I never should have been diagnosed with this condition in the first place. So basically I'm ok but he wants to recheck after the baby is born. Money Hungry Doctors I tell you..the sort of stress you really dont need when you are pregnant and the hormones are flying.. haha
