Doctors and surgeons cannot keep a set schedule- so being very very late was ok, I just hate sitting and waiting for an hour and a half for a video conference without being given a chance to reschedule. You all need to stop that. The doctor called my cell after I had given up on the video thing. That was by far the better thing in the first place. Please give your doctors a break!
