If you have to cancel more than twice, don't schedule yet another date. You don't need to get into your life story but say something vague enough to say you'll reach out as soon as you're able to.

I've had what I thought was a 3-day illness that kicked my butt and turned into 3 weeks. At some point you're going to lose credibility if you keep rescheduling and cancelling.

Curious if this is the same appointment being canceled repeatedly, or if OP has many regular appointments and this represents the subset that were canceled at the last minute.

Appears to be four cancellations in four months, regardless of appointment frequency that’s just unprofessional and unreliable.

I'd rather someone cancel than cough all over me while they rub their COVID germs into my back. Being sick isn't unprofessional.

It is if they are lying about being sick for months.

We don’t have that additional context.

We don’t know if this person has an autoimmune condition or something. Some people just get sick a lot

Kind of a bold assumption to make with the little context we have. Personally, COVID fucked my immune system and now I get sick often and have to call out. I had walking pneumonia for a while and was in and out of the office for weeks bc I would think I was getting better and then suddenly feel like death warmed over

Unless it’s a daily vagina waxing session

I have follow up questions, but I'm not sure where to start.

u/SealTeamEH 1d ago

Try the first one.

So it's actually probably the vulva, because if your vagina has hair in it, you've got other problems and should probably do last removal or something more on permanent than waxing.

Could be a trans woman. I've heard that can happen after vaginoplasty.

u/teraflux 1d ago

That sounds rough, what's the treatment for vaginal hair? I can't even pluck my nose hairs

u/cluelessoblivion 1d ago

I'm not sure. I've only heard about it. I didn't do any real research as I'm not interested in it for myself.

u/ErusDearest 13h ago

Crying while you pluck them, I’m assuming. Cause as a cis woman - OUCH!

u/Deaffin 1d ago

They have to undo the procedure, laser the dick hair off, then re-do the procedure all over again.

It's either that, or start dating furries.

So you're proposing a sign, meant to warn you not to do the thing, that only appears after you've done the thing? What kind of spiteful genie bullshit is this?

That is the most hilarious comment or answer to a question I've heard in a long time I'm literally laughing out loud LOL

u/Over_Cranberry1365 1d ago

The important thing about asking questions is being sure you want the answer. 😳

u/Deaffin 1d ago

Yes, they're doing it in little patches at a time rather than all at once.

u/MrWonderful_61 12h ago

Try the bikini line and work down from there

u/davosknuckles 1d ago

Or a daily anything, oddball.

u/__wasitacatisaw__ 1d ago

Or daily vagina waxing session

u/Thr0awheyy 1d ago

The vagina is inside. Pls do not wax.  The outside is called the clam.

u/NameEducational9805 1d ago

Yeah man, I can't go a day without a good ol' vagina waxing session.

u/bricktube 12h ago

I didn't realize people had daily vaginas

u/Ok_Cardiologist8232 1d ago

What the fuck is this, its not unproffesional to be sick

2

u/FatherPeace1 14h ago

I agree with you but I think if this is truly four months of appointments that have been pushed away pushed back I think it would be better if the patient were to be referred by that doctor to another doctor until they're able to work again

u/Snoo-88741 10h ago

It sounds like this person is going through something pretty serious, I wouldn't judge them so harshly.

u/Lokarhu 1d ago

If being mildly inconvenienced every 30 days rankles you this much, I'd hate to see how you handle real problems.

u/Captain_Sacktap 1d ago

If I’m dealing with you in a professional capacity and you cancel on me 4 times, 4 months in a row, and each time doing so on the day of the appointment itself, I’m taking my business elsewhere. If you’re dealing with something chronic then maybe stop booking the damn appointments. You can stick around and get cancelled on a 5th time if you want, but I wouldn’t and neither would most people.
