I always text few hrs ahead if I can't make it to the appointment, cause I do understand what we are doing here is not charity. Time is money for most of us & I expect providers do the same.
This weekend had an appointment scheduled with a provider and she went silent before the appointment time and after 6hrs she said some lame excuse and asked me to reschedule, as I did reschedule to next day she did the same thing.
Well all I wanna say is it doesn't matter whether it's a provider or a John, a little heads up before pulling ncns shit would be great.
All you need to say is 'I'm sorry I can't make it. If you don't mind Let's reschedule'
