It seems a bit of a stretch to have multiple appointments every month. Who has 24-36 doctor, dentist etc appointments a year?
Even if you have sickly children that is a lot.
I suspect the numbers OP provided are exaggerated or they really are a bad employee. Those numbers are whack.

Me? Last year it was something like 46 - all medical.
Four with GP to start. Throw in a half a dozen specialists, some physiotherapy, a dentist, some lab work and diagnostics, nurse practitioners, two surgeries - It's a goddamn full-time job.
But try explaining that to an unsympathetic employer.
