Had a meeting arranged for 2pm with 2 Health Care professionals to thrash out some issues we have been having with DDs transition to their service. Phone call 10mins after they should have been here to say "they will be coming, they are just running a bit late as doing Friday afternoon stuff. They will be with me in the next hour!".
Now I am more than used to hospitals/doctors not sticking to appt times, I have had 18 yrs of it. But, I turned down the opportunity to go to another meeting at 12.00 as I wouldn't have been back in time. However, had I known they weren't coming until 3pm, I could have gone.
These HCPs are used to dealing with old/infirm/housebound people - I am none of those - my DD is the one with the disability and she is at school.
Should I say something along the lines of "I am a very busy person and would appreciate them sticking to appt times arranged, in future", or should I just suck it up? I appreciate that sometimes they will have emergency calls to deal with, but got the distinct impression this was just a case of tying up a few lose ends in the office before coming out. (Incidentally, they suggested the Friday afternoon time - not me).
