i just got back from an x thousand mile journey where we visited the local military doc to ascertain whether there was local provision available for dd2 during our next posting. doc told me there are no kids with physical disabilities or developmental coordination disorders, and no provision for paediatric occupational therapy locally. (the nearest provision would be 2 1/2 hours away) he said 'that's why we don't normally accept sn here.'
so i get home, and still jet lagged, google 'x medical authority paediatric services' and find an identikit provision to what we have in place here - a child health and development centre offering all the provision dd2 needs, under the health insurance program we would be under. in the nearest town. i called the lovely lady and asked whether they would cover dd2 under the ordinary health insurance. no worries, and she gave me the number of a lovely local paed too. (and i suspect she's still laughing about the fact there are allegedly no kids with disabilities in her entire medical region).
so now i'm more than a little ticked at the entire lack of interest and can't be botheredness, when i've hauled my ass across a continent so that they could see her for a little judgeyness.
does ANYONE, have ANY idea, at all, why i EVER bother to ask the military system anything?
i've e-mailed the doc with the website pages listing the provision. (nicely, natch)
anyone wanna guess whether they'll cancel the posting?
furious doesn't cut it. i have no problem if there genuinely exists no provision for dd2's needs, but don't lie to me, it makes me tetchy.
apols for rant - about to explode. although not sure if i'm angrier with myself tbh! if i'd googled last week...
