Aibu - to think that dh missing his appointment is not my fault?!

[makingacupoftea]

My dh had an appointment for an mri I wrote it on the calendar and reminded him the day before . He forgot to leave work and missed it. He has been blaming me because I didn't call to remind him. I just don't see how this is my fault - I was busy and I assumed he would leave!

Aibu am I ?

I'm not sure if the NHS allows people to book appointments for other adults who don't want to attend .

As a DNA he has cost them a lot of money and will have a letter soon to reprimand him for not attending. I am surprised you didn't call to see how it went? Do you not normally do that with each other?

One of the reasons that waiting lists are so long is that so many people DNA.

It's also a reason why you can end up waiting so long aftre your apointment time at an out patient clinic . They overbook because so many people DNA.

I understand that appointments like this are very stressful but its really not fair to miss a scan if you can possibly help it

I have to have relatively regular mris, and dh has had a few too. They are not emergencies by any stretch of the imagination, but neither of us have waited longer than a month for one. I think we just get cancellations, and that's quite possibly why your dh got one so quickly.
