Doctors appointments and employers (UK)?

they are in a position to deduct pay for the smash day. as for the different question you used the observe call for did they ask you if it replaced into conceivable? do they permit different workers time for traveling medical doctors etc? in the event that they permit others to attend appointments you will possibly desire to being discriminated against ask different workers if the business business enterprise has a history of sexual discrimination or racial discrimination which you're in a position to apply as leverage to get this smash day. in different words your business business enterprise might desire to handle all workers extremely regardless to gender race faith and climate you artwork complete/section time. different factors to contemplate: does the business enterprise have a hectic forecast forward? how significant is the appointment? won't attending impact your ability to artwork contained sooner or later? are you their 'terrific worker'? (from time to time the elite/experienced people contained in the area of work discover it hard to get smash day for particular issues) is there absolutely everyone you additionally could make a shift exchange with?

Can an employer make you set doctors appointments at the beginning or end of your shift?

Usually, for non-work related stuff you need to try to miss the least amount of work possible. This is why they want you to set it up at the beggining or end of your scheduled work hours. this way, one of the trips (to the doctor's office or back) is on your own time. If you are suppose to be at work at 9am but instead you schedule your doctor's appt at 9am, you will be taking the trip TO the doctor on your own time and getting to work missing the minimum amount of time possible. As oppose to in the middle of the day, where you will forced to take both the going and coming back time during working hours.
Most employers would like you to do things after you are done with work but of course that does not always work out because of conflict of hours.

How do doctors know that you have made an appointment with them? Like does it show notifications on their screen?

It is the job of the office manager to keep track of patients, both in the waiting room and those that have appointments for that day. The doctor does not know, or care, who had an appointment for that day or whether a particular patient showed up. The doctor is concentrating on treating the patients he has, rather than worrying about the ones that he does not have, on any particular day. He possibly will look at the list of no-shows, and if he remembers a particular patient for some reason, will direct the staff to make an extra effort to get that patient back.Trust me*, this does not happen that often, and will happen only if the doctor remembers a particular patient's condition or test results. Otherwise, there is a standard protocol that the staff follows to try to get these no-shows in.There are two reasons for medical records. One is documentation for the use of other doctors or some outside authority, and the other reason is documentation for the use of HIMSELF. There is no way a doctor can possibly remember all aspects of a patient's history, test results and treatment.  When I hear from a patient, after I ask a question, "Don't you remember…" This is mildly annoying, although I do try to remember each individual patient. On the other hand, there is some validity to the joke among Gynecologists that, when a patient puts her legs in the stirrups, they think, "Oh, now I remember you." This has actually happened to me more than once. Thank you for A2A.*I'm a doctor.

Is it okay to audio-record a doctor's appointment?

The legality of whether a doctor appointment conversation can be recorded depends on whether your state is a “one party” or a “two-party” consent state. In a “one party” consent state, you are not required to legally get the consent of the other party for audio recording a conversation. So from that standpoint, you can record the doctor office conversation. However, just as any person would, the doctor will most likely be offended if he/she found out that you were secretly recording the conversation. My wife and I take turns for my son’s doctor appointment and requested that we record the conversation for the benefit of the other parent who could not make it to the appointment. The doctor had no problems letting us do this!

16 year old making doctor's appointment without parents there?

If you are making an appointment with your own established doctor, then, yes, you may make your own appointment and take yourself there. You don't need your parent's to come with you.

However, if you are seeing a new doctor, the new doctor will need your insurance information and your parents signature on the insurance forms assigning benefits to the provider.

At 16, in most states, you may sign your own treatment consent. However, some doctors, before they treat you (not just examine you) will want your parents to sign a medical consent form. But what you are seeking is examination and not a procedure and so you won't need your parent's consent.

Can doctors offices keep me from going into appointment with my wife?

First, most doctor's offices automatically give priority to the patients' right to privacy. Being told to wait in the waiting area is not a "refusal" if they don't know it is your "joint" desire that you accompany your wife. (Can't understand why you'd want to unless she's pregnant or unless you are her primary caregiver for some illness/condition.)

Your words "when ever wife goes" makes me feel that maybe she is pregnant or going to the doctor regularly for some problem?

If she's pregnant and she's agreeable to your going in, there shouldn't be much problem UNLESS that particular doctor has a "patients only" policy in place. Most OB's are accustomed to daddy's wanting to be there. If your wife has some chronic condition, then that would be up to her and the doctor.

IF she is being treated for a mental and nervous disorder and is seeing a psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist, I doubt seriously if you would be "invited" into that session for obvious reasons.

NOTE: With HMO's/PPO's setting the standard for what I call "fee based exam time," usually an exam runs in units of 15 to 20 minutes and there are schedules to be kept for the doctor as well as the patients. Inquisitive spectators in the exam room just may throw off the routine of the entire office. It's a thought. If you go over the set time, you could be charged for two visits. [I found out the hard way with an office visit x2 on my statement. I was asking lots of questions.]

Whatever the case may be, it is a doctor's office and there are other patients (and family/friends) in the waiting area in a place of business. Most don't feel it's necessary to post rules of conduct. I'm saying one shouldn't make strong demands there. Discuss your desire with your wife and leave it at that. Perhaps she will tell them she wants you to go in next time. Otherwise, you might go for coffee or a soft drink rather than wait there.

Since you didn't give us detailed information, I'll stop here because a reasonable and prudent person should be able to determine at this point what the next course of action should be.

Best to you.

[edit]

***Paying the doctors bill does not give one the right to control a person's life 24/7 nor make demands on a physician's office that is out of the ordinary. That would be rather controlling/bullying.***

Why do doctors take so long even when there's an appointment system in place? Do they just meet patients whenever they feel like it?

This varies from doctor to doctor. Some have appointment schedules that run like clockwork. Others may have constant emergencies, or allow late patients to be seen even though inconveniencing others. It just depends.With YELP and other reviews sites many are careful to be on time because they don’t want poor ratings.

Doctor's Appointments vs. Work Obligations?

My gut response is to push the issue.

However, if this is a small company, your boss is at the top of the food chain and you desperately need the job, I'd call my doctor's office back and beg for an earlier rescheduling.

If your company is bigger than just a handful of people, run it by whoever handles HR issues. You say that your boss "doesn't like the timing." Unless that means "the Queen of England is arriving at the exact same time as you'd be gone," I kind of think he's out of line.

You might also sit down calmly with your boss and explain that this is the only available appointment and that he's asking you to jeopardize your long-term reproductive health for the short-term needs of the business, and that's it's, at best, an unfair decision to ask you to make.

Assuming you've been a decent employee, I think you'll get your way.

Well mothers you know,(mostly)THEY KNOWIf she is daily observing her little one suffer ,and if she knows how cruel depression can get ,then I would say she did the next best thing possible for you.When my mom did this,I had a similar experience.I went there and me and the doctor had a good conversation aboutdoc: So you are depressed?me: Define depression(with a sarcastic look)Doc: ———— bla bla bla (symptoms)me: You got me.
