Cancellations and High Blood Pressure

Today was pretty crazy I called to remind my patient about their appointment and they told me they had called and left a message a week ago that they had to cancel. I didn't get the message so I was frantically trying to find a patient for this afternoon. Luckily my friend could come in so I was all sorts of happy. However when I took his blood pressure he had stage one hypertension, which means physician consult time! Crazy stuff we ended up dismissing him for the day with a consult paper in hand. I hope he goes to get it checked he is only 23 years old. So I ended up getting three PE's done. I really needed to do that so that was good. I almost had a patient cause there was someone at the front desk who wanted to get in, but had to be to work by 2:00. Then the other person I had left a message with this morning couldnt come this afternoon, but we got her scheduled next week. So it wasnt a total loss thank heavens! Now off I go to study Oral Pathology!
