I am accustomed to going into the doctor with my children for their appointments. As a parent I am sometimes in the waiting room, but more often back with the doctor in the examination rooms. The early stages of the pandemic ushered in a new protocol of not only were parents not allowed to come in; we were to wait in our cars. My son would then go in alone while I filled out forms via text message links. It was surreal, but I was thankful that my sons were not little children anymore.
