MixedBag - I feel you did not actually read my post. NO WHERE, NOWHERE...did I state she cannot be at appointments. We go to appointments when we know of them and she has child, so I completely know and understand that.
What I said was the mother called the doctor's emergency number on a Sunday night - 3 days after she knew child had seen this doctor. The mother told me that she had discussed it with doctor and the doctor wanted to see the child that week, so I was to make an appointment - during our time with child. She does not have the right to make these decisions during our time...Talk to the doctor, yes...
The child saw the doctor on a Thursday after having a fever during the night - since she had just finished antibiotics three days before, I took her in to make sure everything was okay as a precaution. She had no fever and no symptoms when she saw the doctor. This was all explained to the mother, who had not seen child in several days.
The next day, when the child was crying in pain for over 40 minutes with her tummy, we took her to urgent care - which the primary care doctor agreed with. I told the mother the results of that visit as well and she never asked any other information - just said OK. It was not until Saturday night she asked any more questions...then that Sunday called the primary care doctor knowing she had only seen the child once - and nothing was happening at that time.
She continued several times last week to push for us to take child to doctor and her attend. The child had no fever after Friday, no pain, and was on another antibiotic. I spoke with the primary care doctor who agreed there was no need in child being seen.
As I said, she can speak to the doctors and such I know all of that. She cannot try to push unnecessary appointments on my time - that I also know is interference. I know this individual.....I know how she operates and I know what her agenda was.
