[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Dad, I don’t care if you think I’m a bully. I think you and mom bully me about healthcare stuff. So let’s just agree to disagree on who is the bully. But really, I’m not interested in your health advice. I don’t find it helpful or loving. So, I am going to work very hard not to share any health info with you. If I screw up, I will end the call and hang up.”[/quote]

And also, just completely ignore the text from your mom about the doctor. Don’t respond.[/quote]

Agree that less engagement about all this is better, but if mom actually made an appointment in OP's name, that practice might charge OP a cancellation fee if OP doesn't turn up (even virtually). Just something to note.[/quote]

OP didn't sign anything. They can't come after her. Even if they tried just send the bill to mom & dad. It's supposedly just with their friend anyway so would they really want to stiff that person?[/quote]

"Sign anything"? You make appointments over the phone and I've never had to "sign" for an appointment ever. I've also been told very clearly that not turning up or canceling with less than a certain amount of notice (usually 24 or 48 hours) will land me with a cancellation fee. So OP could still be on the hook without having signed anything at all. Agree, though, that I'd send mom the bill for the cancellation fee if it happened. And being friends with someone might get you an appointment but after that, any practice is going to follow its own rules about no-shows, payments, etc.[/quote]

You usually sign a cancellation policy. How can they charge you if you've never been in there, didn't make the appointment, and they don't have a credit card on file?[/quote]
