I had an ECCIE member I had not seen before schedule an appointment for yesterday at 3:00pm. I had to cancel it because my monthly cycle had not yet ceased which it usually doesn't last as long. I explained why and offered to book him tomorrow and he says he doesn't have time tomorrow and then says, "Last I checked, your monthly visitor is fairly common."
Now since I am not permitted to know what the members discuss regarding my business with everyone with access to the forum, is that seriously something acceptable to be shared without my permission?
Should this member be sharing the in detail conversations that take place in the men's lounge about my menstrual cycle with me?
This is just, in my opinion, disgusting that the members discuss such topics in the first place but then to have a member share this information with me to implicate that I may be using my natural monthly uterine lining shedding as an excuse not to see clients?
Am I not supposed to be upfront and instead see them and let them gruesomely discover for themselves that I have a potentially undesirable natural female occurrence which may totally sicken them?
How do I have some sort of freedom to take time off, reschedule or cancel sessions due to something beyond my control and not get the client upset? I can't make it stop, rescheduling wasn't good enough and neither was a discount. He was still upset, likely wrote about it on info share, and damaged my reputation because if something beyond my control.
Is this fair?
One more inquiry, if I were to stop members from reviewing me, can they still post whatever they want on info share and ROS?
