Difference Between Doctors

Anniek had been having a few spells where her lips looked bluer then usual so her cardiologist appointment was bumped up a month and a half so they could see if something was wrong because of the "blue spells".
The cardiologist appointment just made me realize how much I miss the old doctors :-(
Anniek did really well for the echo, and she is up to 30lbs now!!!
Anniek's LPA is still narrow, and her pressures are worse now then they were last time, but the LPA is not bad enough that they want to do a lung scan again. They also do not know why she is having blue spells. But if she has one that lasts 20 minutes or more I am to bring her in to the hospital. The new doctor wants to see her again in 9 months....she had originally said a year, but I said I didn't feel comfortable with that and asked for 6 months (the old doctors would have done that without a problem) so the new doctor said 9 months.
I also asked if we could set the lung scan for before her next appointment, which the old doctors would have done, but the new doctor wants to wait till she sees Anniek again. We KNOW it is going to have to be done and I much rather have it set up for before the next appointment so that the doctor will have the results for the appointment! I wish the new doctor was more like the old doctors on stuff like this.
