Common Courtesy?
Some of you may remember that I was supposed to go to a sleep study on a Friday night a couple of weeks ago. They called and canceled it about 8 hours before I was supposed to check in, due to the fact that the tech had a death in the family. We rescheduled for tonight.
At 2:52 today they called me to inform me that I had a $400 deductible that I should be ready to pay when I checked in at 9pm. Hmm, what is that? 6 hours notice?
They have had this sleep study scheduled for AT LEAST FOUR FREAKING WEEKS! And they give me 6 hours notice? Are you kidding me?
Needless to say, I canceled it. Had they given me some notice, I probably could have fanagled my finances around to pay the damn thing, or at least half of it. But since they didn't bother telling me until today... then I'm not even gonna bother.
What happened to common courtesy?

Oh that sucks! I've been out of your loop for awhile because your blog won't load on my usual computer. Finally had a chance to catch up.

Being a person who works by appointment myself, I do not think I would have done anything different than you did cancelling. F the morons for not telling you when you made the appointment in the first place that you needed that much money for the study. It is not even a common courtesy it's good business to make your clients aware!

$400? Don't tell you-know-who.
