I forgot I didn’t like you

I took my son to see an ENT again today. The audiologist had told me to take my son to the ENT again so he could look into what might be causing the mixed hearing loss in one of his ears, and she told me they’d probably want to do a CT. I brought the results from his ABR with me, so he could see them for himself and understand why the audiologist wanted us to see an ENT again. Wouldn’t you know when the doctor entered the room I remembered we’d seen him once before and I wasn’t crazy about him? It figures. Anyway.

We discussed my son’s medical history and conditions and I explained why we were there and told him he was free to copy the report and he performed his examination. After looking in my son’s ears he said he didn’t see any problems with the middle ear and maybe I should see an audiologist and get a hearing aid evaluation. I looked at him and my mouth might have hit the floor for a moment. I took a moment to choose my words and then reminded him that if he looked at the report he’d see that my son had already had a hearing aid eval and the ear molds were being made as we spoke, and that we were sent there to  see if my son needed a CT. He looked surprised that I’d said anything and gave me the prescription for the CT and told us to come back in six months. This time I’ll remember which doctor it is we don’t want to see when I’m scheduling.
