[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You said you gave him the less complicated appointment, but that sounds pretty complicated to me. [/quote]

yeah, if the simpler appt is the one where your kid is seeing at least one specialist and changes meds often, you need some way to keep records about their medical situation that isn't your own memory.  Like a log book or something. [/quote]

I actively parent our two kids and between all the logistics it's hard for me to keep details straight.  If anything is that important we send a text message or email with the details so the other parent can call it up.  For example, if the kids have run out of a shampoo and I want DH to get another while he is at the store, I take a picture and text/email it to him.  I've done that for myself when I wanted to remember to mention a prescription cor myself. We almost always have our phones. It's easy to forget to bring an empty bottle of something when you are rushing out to be on time somewhere.

So anyway, I get the general annoyance of doing everything and the one time you don't you end up having to follow-up because it wasn't done right so to speak but if the doctor didnt read the file and you didn't send DH a text/email with what he needed to mention, I don't it is fair to pin this on him.  That will make him less inclined to want to step up more.  The issue of him opting out shouldn't be linked to this doctor visit.[/quote]
