Parents will only put up with being bypassed for so long.
I recently took my twelve-year-old for his annual check-up. The process was rather routine, except for two distinct differences. First, he needed three vaccinations, all of which he received and second, I wrote “No” across a form that the nurse handed him without my permission.
You see, the nurse bypassed me and handed my son two pieces of paper and a pen. She asked him to answer two questions on one and then the entirety of the next. She then proceeded to leave the room. Not once did she ask me to look at the forms prior to handing them to my son nor even question whether I wanted him to complete them. It left me annoyed and feeling disrespected.
My son proceeded to answer the questions (the first two of which he couldn’t even understand). This was met with my words “Don’t answer anything until I take a look.” So he stopped and I read. And what I read had nothing to do with my son’s physical health at all and everything to do with facets of his life quite personal to him and me, all of which fall outside of my pediatrician’s jurisdiction, in my book. So I picked up the pen and wrote the word “No” across both forms and called it a day.
When the pediatrician came in, she disregarded the papers and examined my son, engaging in the usual chit-chat that a parent would expect from a pediatrician. The appointment ended on an uneventful note but it got me to thinking how much things have changed since I was small and my mother was sitting in the pediatrician’s office with me.

My doctors give me questionnaires with similarly invasive questions and I lie about them, too.
I am not giving them any info on firearms nor any reason to red flag me.
And the rest is none of their business as well.
Very intrusive and not their business. Answered honestly or using concrete thinking by the unwary it could ruin a family and blight a life. Thought crimes on paper.
FWIW, I wouldn’t lie, for a variety of reasons. I’d just refuse to answer.
I’d also find a new provider if possible.
While damning Big Med to hell for aiding and abetting Deep State.
Twenty five years ago, a Pediatrician office that I had been using for a couple years separated one son from me while we were escorting younger son into the examining room. I noticed when I looked back for him that the nurse was asking him something. He told me that she asked if there were guns in the house and if they were locked up.
He answered yes and yes.
I called the next day, had my records transferred to our adult Family Practice docs and told them that they had NO right to question my child without my permission.
Their comment: it’s for the child’s safety. I told them I was the arbiter of what was safe for my child, and it didn’t include unapproved questioning of underage children by strangers.
Starve them....take your business away.....talk to other parents - though some of them are so brain dead its hard to believe their children survive.
Similar thing happened in elementary school a couple years later. Teachers & psychologist planned a weekly ‘round table’ discussion with selected kids & teachers. Caveat: children were not allowed to discuss what was said in the group. I refused permission for him to participate. Psychologist demanded a meeting, wanted to know WHY I would refuse to allow participation. I told her that the first thing a child molester tells a kid is ‘don’t tell your parents’. She was very indignant, but I pointed out that if her actions are the same as perverts - don’t be surprised if some people won’t go along. Other moms scoffed and rolled their eyes at me....’kids don’t want to talk to their parents’.
My son was the only one not participating. It lasted one semester - by that time parents were flocking to the office, demanding their kids be removed from the roundtable. Turns out there were quite a few ‘naive’ kids as opposed to the dysfunctional ones they sprinkled around every table. the discussions were frightening to many of the kids.
Looking back, when you told people that something was wrong with this stuff, educated white mommies just rolled their eyes and told you that you were too overprotective.
right.
The point is that the doctor was bypassing the parent/legal guardian to gain information from a minor--presumably to get that information without any input from the parent/legal guardian.
This is a similar approach that the "education" system is taking in telling the kids not to tell their parents about some form/activity/subject being taught.
It's just another vector on attacking parents' rights. I'd have done the same thing--even if the questions were as innocuous as "What's your favorite color?"
This wimp of a parent doesn’t get the relationship. That is the problem. Get up and walk out. Find a doctor, teacher, school, husband, friends who will respect the parent. If not, the child has no protection and he knows it. Soon this child will be walking all over this parent
“It left me annoyed and feeling disrespected…
but parents will only put up with being bypassed for so long.”
This is the story of a wimp.
The doctor works FOR the parent. The parent chooses to be there. Anything that doctor asks represents the parent to the child. Tge child knows this the parent is unaware.
Anything Disney or any teacher says or does to the child has been approved by the parent.
Choose a doctor that will not do this. Getting up and walking out is the last action. By then it’s too late.
Any representative of the doctor that tries to hand the child anything gets stopped. That’s when you get up and leave
This has been going on for decades parent wimp out and it’s come to this.
Good on the writer.
I would have used stronger language, though.
“ The left does not believe that you are a customer in these situations.”
This parent doesn’t think she’s the customer here. Why should anyone else? She’s teaching the kid to get walked over by people they hire.
Because the wokester vaccinated his 12 year old three times!!
I have had some questions asked on the pediatricians form, that I don’t answer, either, because it’s not their business.
Fortunately, it’s the same pediatrician my oldest had, and as not a woke doctor, he knows how things have changed.
He’s not woke like my cousin who is a lefty-boomer, and considers anyone who insists they are in pain, they are drug addicts. Her reviews are very low.
Doctors can’t have their own practice anymore, and have to keep bending to the government.
Well, the parent was in the room and saw the questionnaire being passed.
The parent didn’t confront the pediatrician while the doc was still there or after the doc returned.
The bypassing that was done was allowed by the patent.
That’s on her.
Notice the author Karen, I mean Laura, didn’t say what the questions were. That’s kinda important to the story.
Are the many Jews here on FR also working as a part of this plot? I know you are a good man, not an anti-Semite certainly?
Yeah, there are some conservatives in both demographics. But, as a demographic, they will 99% always vote for scum.
I'll make that observation. It doesn't make me anti semitic or racist. It's merely stating facts.
The Jews? Really?
I agree with all of those points. Mom should have spoken up during that process.
“Mom should have spoken up during that process.”
Mom should have walked out. Kid in tow.
Please remember that about 30% of US Jews did vote for Trump.
The others are either misguided leftists or listening to the mainstream media. I notice in your statement “The Jews and atheists and humanists and communists, you put Jews at the head of the list of malefactors. Since you’re into “demographics,” how many blacks voted for Trump?
It’s a slippery slope to categorize people by their “demographics.” There are a lot of good people and bad folks in every group.
Yeah, it’s that “overwhelming” 1.7% of the electorate that is (nominally) Jewish that put the USA on the wrong course.
All on us, not the 98.3% of the vote that is gentile.
That's still a heck of a lot of votes from a particular demographic.
And, the figures are questionable, at best.
From the article:
We may never know .... because the major media consortium that traditionally cooperates in exit polls .... did not post Jewish results this year.
I stand by my post. there are some conservatives in both demographics. But, as a demographic, they will 99% always vote for scum.
