I screwed up and somehow this feels like the straw that broke the camel's back

This is all liability theater! Terrible and such a waste of resources.

Well, OP says she has a job, so she's probably not able to sit in the pediatrician's office all day.


Ok. Most of us have jobs. I sit there and hang out for 10 minutes. Not all day. It's never been an issue.


DP, but our pediatrician's office wouldn't tolerate that. "Thank you for dropping these off, we'll call you when they're done." Period. Good for you, PP, but sitting and waiting just isn't tenable for most people.

That PP is probably such an entitled nightmare to deal with that they've decided this is the path of least resistance.

If they really cared about the one in a million deaths, they’d require a full battery of cardiac tests. They don’t because that would be absurd, so they have a doctor sign off even though they have no basis to do so

quote=Anonymous]JFC, my kids aren’t school aged yet, but why do schools make everything so hard? If a (presumably) MC/white-collar family can’t make sports happen without stressing out, what hope is there for lower-income/blue-collar families to get to participate?

The blue collar people do not consider themselves better and above the law. They stick to the rules. Try it sometimes. If OP screwed up then her son doesn't play. No exceptions.

Yeah, possibly. Society would fall apart if everyone acted like that, so I guess I'll take one for the team and wait for my forms, like the rest of us plebes.
