Muchas Gracias, Dr. D!

I've talked before about "God-connections" and I'm a real believer that God allows our lives to intersect others for specific reasons... for the big things and the little things... even like getting into the pediatrician of your choice!!!

Most of you know that I work with our Crisis team in the Emergency Dpt of our local hospital. I am familiar with most of all the docs. Monday, when we visited the ED with Andrew, Dr. D. was our assigned physician. As I mentioned in a previous post, he ordered an EEG and follow up with our pediatrician. Today, he approached me in the ED and asked about Andrew. How sweet!

Well, I told him of my dilemma with this certain doctor and my desire about getting in with Dr. J or Dr. M who happen to be right across the street from the hospital! I told him about this "Common Courtesy Contract" and even, he said that didn't make sense...that you should be able to see whatever doctor ya wanted. I asked him if he could do me a "favor" or "work his magic"--- Thank you, Jesus, for favor! He got us in! Waahoo!

He said he knew all of those doctors and he immediately had Dr. M paged, and explained the situation. Dr. M agreed to see us and said that we should be able to choose whatever doctor we wanted to see! Boo-yah!!! Yes!

God is good...this reminded me of the Scripture, Col 3.17, "And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus..." That even when my job is taxing to look at it as an opportunity to serve others, to serve the community, the patients, and the hospital, doing the best I can whether at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or 2 am! BECAUSE, everything we do is a testimony of who we are! And sometimes, it is because of WHO WE ARE that we are awarded special favors--like that of which I received today!!!

Ya'll I am so grateful! When Dr. D said it was taken care of today, I felt such a huge relief...wow! I'm gonna think of some neat little basket of goodies to give him to show our appreciation!
