All for nothing: the dentist didn´t show up.

I came back home very angry. I put on a nice dress in spite of the heat to go to the dentist. I called a cab that took me to the Metro. When I was 2 blocks from the dentis, his secretary called. The doctor is not coming, she said.
These are the tomes when I want to curse. But it is no use. The dentist will not hear, he is elsewhere. And maybe if I was in front of him I´d just talk to him with an icy ladylike tone.
I came back and on the way to my house, I went in to a supermarket and bought ham an cheese to make me some grilled sandwichs which are not on the doctor´s list.
This is when I think that the only way to live happy is to drown the problems. I´m not drinking much, so I´ll eat

I didn´t ask then. I spent a lot of money getting there and was in no mood to ask for another appointment. I´ll wait after Christmas.

@allknowing I forgot the dentist. But I´m sorry for the money I spent on a taxi.

That's so bad that the dentist cancelled the appointment suddenly. He should do it earlier before as you were already on the way. Here both dentists and patients paid attention to the appointments and we seldom would cancel it. Perhaps the dentists have a lot of patients to handle here, so they seldom will cancel it as it will affect a lot of patients. And the patients won't cancel it as it is not easy to book another time.

@marguicha I also think that it is better for your doctor to call earlier.

I'm sure that was so frustrating, I'm sorry. I hope the rest of your day was better.

I do not blame you for being upset that your dentist did not show up for your appointment with him or her.

Even though he had a motive, he could have called before.

He should have to pay for your cab or give you free treatments at the very least.

He won´t. He has a lovely smile and he´ll say he is sorry. And I´ll accept his apologies.

I know the frustration you must have felt. I once drove two hours for a doctor's appointment, waited over an hour, and was then told the doctor would not be able to see me that day. Needless to say, I was not a happy patient.
The doctor did have a good reason. He'd been called to the hospital to perform emergency surgery on a child injured in an accident.

I know. There are valid excuses. But I spent time and money

An annoying waste of time, money and effort for you. Usually it's the patients who don't show up for the dentist, not the other way around.
