So, here's my question.  If you have a patient who calls in who had a piece of tooth chip out today, and she can feel it with her tongue (very sharp), and it's in a tooth that you told her to keep an eye on because she was starting a small cavity...

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE HER WAIT A WEEK AND A HALF TO SEE YOU WHEN THE CHIP FELL OUT?

Don't you think that that would take some kind of priority?  No.  Unless I'm in serious discomfort, I will not be seen until the 2nd.  If someone cancels, I MIGHT be able to be bumped up.  Maybe.  But it isn't guaranteed.

Why do I bother calling when I have a problem when I know I'm not going to be seen anyway?  I was hoping that even if it wasn't tonight yet, I'd at least have a shot for tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

I guess that was too much to ask.
