> He still hasn't decided whether to see clients next week or not. And I refuse to sit like some lovelorn swain waiting for my beloved's call. How pathetic is that! If he can't be professional enough to know three days in advance if he'll be seeing patients, he can stick his appointments where the sun don't shine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hi Dinah,
I think some therapists wait to see how many patients cancel. If nearly everyone else cancels, perhaps the therapist doesn't feel it's worth his while to go into the office for just one or two patients. I know that my therapist has a country/weekend home that is about two hours from the city where his office is. If most of his patients cancel before a major holiday, he will change his mind at the last minute and decide not to drive in. I hate to put it in these terms, but I guess he figures it's not "cost-effective."
