[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this discussion is moot until we hear from OP and HIS work policy.  Every workplace in this country doesn’t allow an employee to take sick leave by the hour to accompany their child to the dentist, doctor etc. Do you know anyone who works in healthcare? They do not have the ability to leave for a few hours during the day. In that case, the employee would schedule a vacation day.[/quote]

Where do people work?  At my firm, nobody gives a shit if you take an hour to do something...they just care that whatever shit you have to get done, gets done by whatever timetable you have.  On the flip side, if you have an important zoom/call at the same time as your DD's doctor appointment, you figure out a way to do it even if it's from the doctor's waiting room (or you step outside...unless this is life-or-death, you don't have to be in the room).

I get that many MC and LMC people work hourly jobs, where you clock-in and clock-out and you can't just take off for an hour.  I guess if you work as a Nurse or a radiological technician, you don't have tons of flexibility.  Ironically, this post is about taking DD to the doctor...I would assume if a spouse is a doctor, then they could figure out how to manage this fairly easily.[/quote]
