One more thing: they should have told you they were going to call your emergency contact. Its not a requirement but definitely a courtesy. Would have been nice if you could call your cousin right after and not leave them worrying after a terrifying message |
I don't know how long he's been practicing besides that he said he usually works with kids. Which might be why he reacted this way and felt the need to contact my cousin. He told me he was going to call and I told him not to, that I could call her and let her know what was up. I tried calling her as soon as I left to warn her that it might happen, but he must have called at the same time.
