That would NOT make me happy at all. Worse still was the attitude the derm doc gave you after you insisted he perform the work in your presence. If he could do what he did that well with you in attendance, why would he need to 'hide' what he was doing 'from' you?
Fortunately, I have never had that problem with my vet. All normal, simple procedures, such as shots, blood draws, SubQ fluids, pills, etc., are done in the exam room with us in attendance. If the vet thinks he needs additional help holding an animal of ours, he brings a tech into the exam room to help. Rarely has that ever happened...typically, he handles the baby alone and we hold it when he has to step away. We never need to ask that the doctor work on our kids in our presence. |
