[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pediatrician here (and former nanny who NEVER accompanied children to the DR), please, unless the parent (s) is/are unable to come to the visit, leave the nanny at home or in the waiting room. Rooms are small, time is tight, and the more people present the less likely the child is to behave and allow me to interact with them the way I need to.

If you have questions or concerns, feel free to write them down and send them with one representative but really, unless you have power of attorney or guardianship, I shouldn't be talking to you about the child's health in the first place.

If you are like PP and truly need to be set up for the nanny to handle "emergencies" (I say in quotes because if it truly an emergency, take them to the ER or leave work to take care of your child!) then that's a separate matter, though truthfully, emergencies/urgent matters/illness goes to whoever has the room in their schedule.

I'm the pp.  We have a fantastic pediatric practice we use, with many wonderful pediatricians who are nowhere near this haughty.

Your views are outdated and I would change practices if I felt this kind of attitude.  And I do have our nanny on file w/ the pediatrician so they are authorized to speak/deal with her if I or the kids' father cannot be present.

Yuck.  [/quote]
Interesting.

I’m not a pediatrician, but I can see how what they’re saying makes sense. It can definitely get cramped in a doctor’s office. It all depends on the situation, though.

If both parents are going [i]and[/I] the nanny? Kind of excessive unless you’re bringing triplets. If there’s just one parent and more than one child? It would make more sense to have the nanny stay home with the others, but that could also be a situation where a parent and a nanny would be necessary at the doctor’s.

That’s just my opinion. In the end, people are going to do what they like and really this situation isn’t that big of a deal on the scale of huge issues that can come from nannying. Unfortunately, op, there’s not really a good reason for you to say no without looking “lazy.” [/quote]
