I'm not sure where you are located, but in the United States you can make an appointment with the doctor no matter your age. Whether or not your medical records may be shared if a parent or legal Guardian requests them is another issue. Remember, though, that any doctor visit will cost you some money. If you have insurance under your parents or guardian this information would be available to your guardian as well. If you are not concerned with the privacy issues I explained above, then you should not have an issue.

Is it legal in Wisconsin for a divorced mother to make a doctor appointment but for the other parent to not take a child to a doctors appointment?

It is not illegal to miss a doctors appointment. However if the child was under 16 and needed to see a doctor urgently (i.e for an chest infection or something that requires immediate treatment, as opposed to something like acne or ingrowing toenail's), there would probably be some sort of parenting offense involved by not taking the child to the doctor (unless it was just forgetfulness that meant the appointment was missed). If the child is over 16, it's no longer the parent's responsibility to take the child to doctors' appointments (unless the child is not mentally capable of looking after themselves). If the appointment was to discuss referral to another specialist, or some non-life threatening condition (i.e a non-urgent appointment), it is not "illegal" to not take the child, but it is not helpful either. Obviously if the appointment was booked knowing that the child would be with the other parent, the other parent should have been told as soon as possible about the appointment to check they were available to take the child (and if not, rearrange for a convenient time). And you should always notify your doctors surgery if you are going to miss your appointment.

I am 16 years old i have a doctors appointment for a blood test this Friday i recently had an abortion so the tests are still gonna say im pregnant will my doctor keep this confidential if i tell them?

Yes, unless the doctor wants to lose his/her license to practice, he/she will keep it confidential. They can't even tell your parents or anyone anything.I know this from experience. I got pregnant at 16 and went to my OBGYN. I had missed an appointment so they called my house. My mom answered and they wouldn't even tell her when the appointment was supposed to be or who had made it.
