Shane's first doctor's appointment here...almost

So we finally scheduled Shane's 6 month doctor's apt with our house doctor. Each neighborhood has a house doctor that we take the kids to or if you can't make it there the doctor will come to the house. Very nice. Well, we go to the doctor and get the kids registered and when we see the doctor he tells us that we only come to him if the kids are sick and go to a different place for their well child checks and shots. So, he has yet to have his 6 month check up...at least we tried right?! Just an example of a difference between here and the States. Also, all shots and well child checks are free for kids up to the age of 4. You would also go to the house doctor if you have an emergency that you would not call 911 (221 here) for, but would drive yourself there.

Thats pretty cool that they will come to you! And good to know that if you call 211- your just going to have to cart yourself to the emergency room!! HAHA Thats crazy!
