oh wow!!! a thread all for meeeeeeeeee!!! thankyou!
How kind of you to remember, Yes its DS4's 4th birthday tomorrow - think we've decided on wheelgate park... wish us luck with that!!!
Hmm, at bassetlaw there are 3 Paeds, Dr Williams, Dr Mulenga, and Dr Hill (i think).
We have seen 2 of them.
Dr williams is nice, will listen to what you say, but HATES labels and will bend over backwards to make sure you dont get one, sitting firmly on the fence - a firm beleiver of the 'wait and see' brigade. However he is extremely well respected and if you want a test of ANY description (and you only have to ask!) you can guarentee that within a few days you will have your appt!!! Although he has a strange tendency to veer off at very strange tangents and reminice about his life - although its actually very interesting, perhaps he should write his memoirs!
Dr Mulenga, now hes a strange one, takes a while to get used to him, hes a bit like marmite - but i havent made my mind up yet. HE does however LOVE labels, but doesnt listen to a word you say. I stated that DS4 is a terrible sleeper, and takes ages to fall asleep, in the report he wrote "sleeps well" WT??? But he is quite thorough, and he is willing, hes a consultant Paed too. From the little i know about him, i think he would probably be the best person to see, with your DS.
Not had a chance to meet Dr Hill yet, maybe when Dr Williams retires next year? Have heard good reports about her - the stand-in HV thinks shes brill.
Im sorry i really dont know which one you are are likely to get - although from experience it usually only takes a couple of weeks to see any one of them.
