This burns my bridges. My oldest daughter (8) had a wellness visit/checkup scheduled. It was during the day, so I was at work. My wife caught a 24 hour puke bug the night before. My wife called the doctors office to let them know that her cousin (24) would be bringing her in for the appointment.

The doctor then proceeded to tell my wife that they don't believe a 24 year old is responsible enough to be taking our child to the appointment and tried to reschedule (this would be the 3rd time rescheduling and also a $40 charge for missing the appointment because we didn't call in within 36 hours). Her cousin is listed as our beneficiary in our will and has been in their lives since they were born.

That pediatrician office is no longer seeing our children, which have been going there since birth.

Idiots, the lot of them.
