To all - do not let anyone separate you from your kids during any appointment!! They have no legal right to require it and you can simply say, "no thanks, I'll be staying". If they press then tell them it's not negotiable and you won't discuss it further.

You are responsible for your minor children's well-being, not the doctor (or anyone else for that matter). There is no valid reason for an adult to separate a child from their parent short of legitimate proof of abuse (and only then with a court order). The only other reason to do so, is to undermine a parent's authority. Period. If a doctor even requests it then it should make you extremely suspicious.

Don't let doctors, nurses, social workers, police, school workers, clergy, or anyone else do it. If it cannot be said with you in the room then it's a huge red flag.

Also, follow up on the doctor's notes after the visit where you refused to be separated.

I think it's SecondSmartestGuy who has a tale on his substack of the doctor putting comments regarding "suspected elder abuse" when 2SG refused the "jab" for his mother. (He had power of attorney.)

Yes! NEVER separate from your dependent loved one, no matter the age. Vulnerable people need an advocate, and predatory medical practitioners know they are less

Likely to get away with their abuse and coercions when a competent and prepared family member or other personal advocate is present.

But man, tell me you will need to be seeing my children separately from me and we will be out the door. And on the phone with our legal representation at Heritage Defense if you (a medical office) make any threats about it!

They started pushing our grandson to see the pediatrician alone when he turned 10!! His mom flipped out and replied, when y'all are paying for everything this boy needs, you can see him alone!" That stopped it briefly. He's nearly 14 now and they STILL try it at every visit!
