Oh yuck.
Well, psych2's office called back. They plan to do "cognitive, executive, emotional, eating-disorder, etc. etc." assessments with that four hours.
When I asked for more specifics, I was informed that she "doesn't like to" be specific about the assessment tools prior to the appointment.
Hmm... Well, oddly enough, I don't like to be giving blanket approvals for testing for my young adolescent daughter, either.
So apparently I'll need to schedule an appointment with the psych if I want more specific information ahead of time.
I said that was just fine with me. I just don't want to say "Yeah, sure-- whatever" unless the doctor can explain WHY a particular assessment is being performed and what she hopes to learn from it.
They wouldn't expect me to sign on for a chest X-ray
and an MRI without giving me a reason why, would they?
<sigh>
DH and I are not happy with how this has all transpired thus far. Our family doc probably has a lot to do with that, but if they are
looking for a particular problem, maybe they ought to let us in on the secret, too, YK?
