LOL I had just finshed shaving and brushing out my mouth when the phone rang. It was my new PCP's office calling to cancel my appointment for 1 PM because the Dr was stuck in Pittsburgh with her daughter that had to see A Dr there.. Now I don't see her until the 4th of March. LOL I must be doing something wrong to have so many cancelations lately.

LOL I've been having the same problem lately. I have one dr. who cancelled out on me twice and I had to reschedule once and just found out I need to do it again. Don't think I'm ever going to get to see him. May be I'll just skip this year's check-up - just kidding! Take care and hope the 4th comes through for you.
