Irene,

I'd wondered that myself. My dentist borders on being a nuisance with the phone calls. My doctor doesn't call before either, nor call if you miss an appointment to find out why. I wonder if any pdocs do call or if this is some policy they learn in medical school. And I wonder if it is the same for doctors who are just meds versus those who provide therapy.

It doesn't make sense to me because by the very nature of depression I think we are more likely to forget appointments, or get confused about them, or convince ourselves that we are too much of a bother for the doctor to deal with.

Does anyone have a doctor who issues reminders or follows up?

Jane
