What a terrible thing to happen. How rude of her to be late for your appointment.

There could be all sorts of reasons. Maybe she had to come from a meeting that ended late. Maybe she expected you would wait for more than ten minutes. But even if she had a reason, she should have contacted you to apologise. My T was once half an hour late, but he had the good grace to apologise and explain.

In my job I often have meetings with clients (though I don't work in healthcare). Every now and then - less than once a year - I can't get to an appointment on time. It's always for a good reason. And guess what? I always contact the person to apologise. Stuff happens; things come up. But an apology is necessary.

Can you bear to email her or phone her to tell her you came for your appointment and were surprised to find she wasn't there? Do whatever you need to do; make her feel guilty, or yell and shout. You have good reason to be angry. MAKE her notice you.

Keep posting. We know you’re out there; we won’t forget you.

Hugs,
Tamar
