Be
aware,
if
your
child
is
under
age
or
has
special
needs,
the
chubby,
Brown
hair
receptionist
requested
the
child
must
wait
inside
and
the
parent/carer
was
told
she
must
wait
outside.
Ther
mother
said
no,
she
is
waiting
with
child,
due
to
her
child's
extreme
anxiety.
Because
they
wouldn't
allow
the
mother
as
the
primary
carer
of
her
special
needs
under
age
child
to
remain
with
her,
they
both
needed
to
wait
outside.
While
they
were
waiting,
they
watched
and
waited
outside
in
the
carpark
sitting
on
the
curb
while
at
least
4
other
patients
walked
in
and
took
their
seats
ahead
of
her
child.
Eventually,
after
approx
20
mins,
the
mum
popped
her
head
into
the
reception
area
to
advise
the
receptionist
that
they
were
still
waiting.
The
same
receptionist
told
her
again,
the
child
can
wait
inside,
but
the
mother
must
wait
outside.
So
as
there
were
3
spare
seats
(2
when
they
when
they
first
arrived),
the
mother
said
again,
my
child
is
a
minor,
I
am
staying
with
her.
They
just
walked
over
and
sat
down.
The
receptionist
then
said,
if
anyone
else
arrives,
the
mother
must
wait
outside.
Shortly
thereafter,
another
adult
and
child
arrived.
The
mother
was
advised
again
she
must
wait
outside.
She
refused
because
her
child
is
a
minor
and
they
cannot
do
a
procedure
on
a
minor
with
a
Disability
with
out
the
mother's
consent
or
without
her
presence.
The
mother
could
see
how
anxious/distressed
the
minor
was
becoming
and
due
to
her
disabilities,
she
was
unable
to
leave
her
daughter
and
stood
next
to
her
while
her
daughter
sat
down.
There
was
another
male
ahead
of
us
that
said
to
the
mother,
I
passed
you
waiting
outside,
you're
ahead
of
me,
so
you
can
have
my
seat
while
I
wait
outside.
This
receptionist
didn't
reply
after
both
adults
went
outside.
This
was
an
extremely
traumatic
experience
for
mother
and
daughter.
Mother
is
receiving
chemo
etc
as
well
as
caring
for
3
additional
needs
children.
This
unkind,
unprofessional
woman
needs
to
be
taught
how
to
treat
patients.
