Medical appts. during covid are odd, in that waiting rooms are closed; you wait in your car for a text to enter.
Now, if you happen to be a dog going to see the vet, the procedure is a bit different (apparently, because dogs don't have phone and can't get a text to come in).
Yesterday, hubs took Jack to the vet for his yearly check-up. From the outside door, he rang the intercom, and a tech answered. Hubs was not allowed inside at all.
Instead, the tech put a muzzle in a box that opened out of the front door. Hubs put it on Jack. Then the tech told him to tie the leash to the railing, and go wait in his car, so that the tech could come out and bring the dog inside. (Hubs was not pleased, as he likes to be there with Jack, and also talk directly to the vet.) Not to mention, Jack is prescribed pills to take to calm him, before any vet visit. But we swear he's high as a kite when he takes one of those, and acts even more like a lunatic, by the time he gets there!
When appt. was done, the vet called him on the phone, and explained the details of the visit. (Jack has a few issues, common in older dogs.) Then, the tech asked for the credit card #, and told him to wait in car until he came out and leased up Jack to the railing. (And oh, an envelope was attached to the leash with a statement for exam/bloodwork, vaccine, meds, etc., for $660.13.)
It's 2020.
