[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 17 and just graduated high school. He made all of his appointments upon graduating physical, dentist, urgent care was needed too). I made sure to tell him to have a card to pay, his health insurance card and his id. He transported himself. He filled out all the paperwork. He retrieved his medicine from the pharmacist. As a parent, we need to be sure that we are helping our children become functional adults that are capable of caring for themselves. I find her being mad at you is very disrespectful, selfish and rude. [/quote]

My kid's doctor turns away anyone 18 and younger. They can't legally make medical decisions for themselves until 18.

Once kid turned 18, medical practice no longer allowed us access to the account. Part of this began at age 16...

My kid started making appts at 18/19. It helps that making appointments does not involve talking on the phone. When kid had strep last week, I drove her to the doctor. She also wanted me to come into the appt with her. I assume this is because she felt so sick. That was fine. I had the time and am glad to give a sick person a ride and provide support.

Op here and to be clear if she seemed sick it would be very different! She has driven to school, went to get a bday gift for a friend…she’s out and about and not lethargic and looks fine.[/quote]
