Putting a pet down? I'd want someone there. For doctors, if it's a routine medical appointment, I'd generally want to go alone. But something like the ER for a potentially serious condition, I'd want someone there. When I had to go a few years ago (pre-pandemic) for a high heart rate, H and D were at the beach (I was supposed to head down that day to join them), and it was scary to me being in there all alone for hours. In part because I worried they'd say I was having a heart attack or needed surgery, and I'd be alone.
