AITA For Refusing To Schedule A Surgery For My Niece?

My wife’s sister is currently living with us due to financial trouble.

She’s a single mom and her kid needs spinal surgery.

His sister-in-law got her hopes up.

It just so happens that I own a surgery center that specializes in that type of surgery.

So my sister-in-law asked me if I can set something up for her.

And she won’t drop the issue.

Unfortunately, I can’t because none of my surgeons take Medicaid or Medicare patients due to reimbursements.

Now she’s trying to persuade me to find someone to perform the surgery at my place.

AITA?

Here’s what people are saying.

It was good to get some background on why this couldn’t work.

There may be more to it than this, though. Maybe she’s a unique case and requires special expertise. Be kind.

Maybe. I’m not excusing her pressure, but when your child is sick like this, it’s probably hard to think rationally.

I live in Canada so wouldn’t know. This must be so tough.

It’s inherently unethical.

Wishing her and her daughter all the best.
