If the people workin with you that day give you a lame excuse as to why they can't page him, demand that he gets paged to get it worked out. Unless he is off that day, there is no reason he can't deal with a problem for you. He probably just wants to do clinic that day is my guess, and can still be talked to. But, I could be wrong.<BR/>Put it in HIS hands, see what plans He has for you. Maybe you should keep the old schedule, or maybe you're meant to do something different, who knows. If you're persistent enough, you might be able to even get the Doc to make an exception for you.Rivkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253505719720535894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-83491654296757094622008-12-14T00:09:00.000+02:002008-12-14T00:09:00.000+02:00Clarification: I could come in on Tuesdays, and ev...Clarification: I could come in on Tuesdays, and even get my treatments on Tuesdays, BUT my doctor would not be there. So, I would have to come in on another day for my appointments (at least once every three weeks and often more than that), AND if there is a problem, he is not there to help me.RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-21193971436665076072008-12-13T18:30:00.000+02:002008-12-13T18:30:00.000+02:00The force, oy.He'll say, "sure, show up Tuesday, a...The force, oy.<BR/>He'll say, "sure, show up Tuesday, and you'll be all alone and won't get the meds you fought for."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm Thursday sounds better, doesn't it?Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-36898989714397757702008-12-12T09:22:00.000+02:002008-12-12T09:22:00.000+02:00could you teach swimming on tuesdays?always annoyi...could you teach swimming on tuesdays?<BR/>always annoying to try to juggle everyone's schedules...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-9157792121609472392008-12-12T09:03:00.000+02:002008-12-12T09:03:00.000+02:00LOL!LOL!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012646103361709320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-71198401624946608762008-12-12T06:17:00.000+02:002008-12-12T06:17:00.000+02:00I loved the suggestion of using "The Force" - when...I loved the suggestion of using "The Force" - when you get that perfected you can teach the rest of us!Engineering Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604030323426558799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-10732681340306540072008-12-12T04:10:00.000+02:002008-12-12T04:10:00.000+02:00I like Moshe's suggestion.

It reminds me of a (true) story I read where a woman needed to write a personal cheque for cash at a hotel and she didn't have a drivers license (required in order to do so). She just kept affirming what the girl said and then repeating like a broken record "Try this. It will work." while offering a totally different type of ID. Eventually, they cashed her cheque.<BR/><BR/>You could try (in a very quiet, polite voice) "I understand you need to switch everybody around and I need to come on Tuesday." Note the "and" NOT "but".<BR/><BR/>What's the worst case? The doc is going to think the chemo drugs have fried your brain?Shevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360963999613712921noreply@blogger.com
