Well, this is what's going on...

pattroseabout the dentist. He called the house, and Shannon wasn't here, so he talked to me first. He said he wants to set up a meeting for all of us to talk and discuss what happened and he could explain himself to us. I asked him how he could possibly explain leaving a bleeding patient with the assistant and he said, "We need to set up this talk. It's important." Then his office manager called and said she needs to set this meeting up as soon as possible and I told her I would call her with a day and time tomorrow. I needed time to think about it. I mean really, what's he going to say? He did it and there is nothing much to say now that it's over with. I don't know why they want the meeting, but they are both pushing for it, so
AHCCCS must have really gotten on his case, that's all I can think of. Maybe they won't let him practice until he gets it cleared up. I have no idea. But I find it odd that both of them called on a Saturday and want me to call them tomorrow with a day and time to set up. It's sort of strange, don't you think? Grey told me to make sure and take someone with us that isn't a family member, so I'm going to get my friend K.C. to go with us. I actually feel sort of sorry for all of them. I'm still really pissed off and I don't know if there is any way to clear this up. He said today he wondered what it would take to make things better. I think that was worded oddly too. So now, I have to put up with that. I'm thinking of having KC record the entire meeting on tape. What do you all think? There is no way I can write fast enough to keep up with everyone, so a recording is the only other thing I could think of.
Comments?????
ETA: There is going to be no meeting. So nothing to worry about. The dentist just wants me to sign something and be done with it. I'm not. He shouldn't be working on kids. It's as simple as that.
Hugs, Patt

Date: 2010-03-28 11:00 am (UTC)As for his wondering what it would take to make things better, that sounds like a last ditch effort of some sort to save his butt.
Stay frosty, Patt, and good luck with this.

Date: 2010-03-28 04:50 pm (UTC)I bet he'll show you pictures of his kids and ask you not to ruin their lives because their dad can't make a living and then he'll confess he has a drug/alcohol problem (which is why he walked out and left the clean up to the assistant because he realized he couldn't do it himself under the influence) and he swears he's going into rehab/getting therapy (okay, I'm making this part up but he'll have something that justifies/makes him the victim so you'll feel guilty for punishing him. Then he'll swear it will never, ever, ever happen again because you've made him realize he was wrong! He may even cry! D-: Yadda yadda yadda.
The problem is that once you've signed any release he's off the hook and doesn't have to do anything more. Or if he does do the rehab and relapses in six months... Even if he makes you feel guilty, remember the other kids he may do this to. I don't know if the settlement offer would be enough to make life much easier (and I won't judge your family if that's true) but I'd let the courts and his peers judge him myself.

Date: 2010-03-28 06:25 pm (UTC)Clearly, the person is very worried about the complaints you've made. We've been assuming he's likely to manipulate you or try to explain it all away. But perhaps he really is upset about the way he behaved and perhaps he does have a reason that explains his behaviour, or maybe he sincerely wants to apologize. Do your best to listen openly to him, to not entirely prejudge him.
