Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

oooh that is really annoying!!
yes they should take your health into consideration and it's just one of those irritating things that because you called on the same day as your appointment they call it a no-show which is just utterly ridiculous cos how are you to know the day before that you're going to be ill? grrrrrr

So I don't know how things work in America- I'm assuming that's where you are, but are you paying for this councillor or is it a referral from a GP? if you're paying then I'd suggest giving it one more go cos it might end up that you actually really like her- I know it sucks but she may have had to put you down as a no show because of policy even tho she herself thinks it's not fair.
The secretary- hmmmm yes -some of them- can be ratty and irritable but can't we all? maybe she was just having one of those days so try not to take it to heart... on the other hand she may just be a mean old lady in which case smile your sweetest smile when you see her and tell her you're really sorry you couldn't make it .....Niceness totally wins hehee in most cases people will relent.
And that's all I can suggest I think for now if I think of anything else I will write back- I've been to see a councillor when I was 16 and they're all usually really nice and understanding so stick with it I really think it'll be worth it!
hope everything goes better next time
Godbless
