WIBU to still show up to the hospital appointment?

I have a long term health condition which impacts my life considerably, with a sizeable impact on my vision. I have had a hospital appointment scheduled for a while to review the conditions impact on my eyes and to decide if surgery is necessary, this was to take place tomorrow morning. I have just had notice from my mother who I haven’t lived with for a while that this appointment has been cancelled.

WIBU to still attend as they did not inform me and this is the only time I can do the appointment for a long time?

For context I work in quite a high pressure field with my work scheduled far in advance (think 5 years). It also involves working across multiple countries and time zones, to reschedule would place substantial delays on projects. For the appointment to also not go ahead it poses a considerably high chance of total vision loss, as well as raising the risk of unplanned surgery.

It’s a large clinic, they usually get me to see a junior clinician before calling in a senior clinician when they realise what’s going on.

You've made this point about a million times! We get it!

Would they have been open at 19:48 to confirm an appointment for the next day? If they are it's unlike any clinic that I've been involved with!

They have a answering service

They have a answering service

But unlikely to reply before the OP had to leave in the morning for the appointment

Ebony raven and co. seriously you need to get out more. That post is the most out of perspective post I ever did read. Some of us are just lazy sometimes; shoot us. 🤷‍♀️
