hi leslieamy,
I'm sorry you had to miss the procedure, and that your psychiatrist wasn't nice about it!I've found that most hospitals are ALWAYS way behind schedule, unfortunately. Here is my best advice: Next time could you schedule your ride to drop you off and pick you up with LOTS of extra time, maybe, just in case this happens again? Even if you have to sit there an extra 2 hours or so waiting to get picked up...at least you'd get the procedure done. If you bring a good book, you could get in some reading! :) Or maybe a cab or something?
I wonder if your psy. was disappointed because you weren't able to wait for the procedure? Maybe she knows how hard it is to get appointments, or was very eager for you to get this done. Most people DO wait (even if it's a huge inconvenience to them). Will it be very hard to reschedule? Maybe she just had different expectations about how long it was appropriate to wait on this...??? Do you think she suspects that even though you had a valid excuse for missing it, that maybe part of you really didn't want to get it done?
Anyway, I'm sorry it didn't work out, and I hope you can get it out of the way soon!
take care,
JenStar
