Today, after checking in and waiting for three hours to see the doctor, the receptionist said she forgot about me because she didn't see me. She asked me to come back tomorrow. I was sitting right in front of her. FML

Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, after spending almost an hour in the dentist's waiting room, watching other people get called in for their appointments, I finally lost my patience and asked the receptionist what was taking so long. I'd forgotten to sign in. FML
Today, I made an appointment with a therapist because lately I've been feeling alone and like no one cares about me. I waited at her office for about forty minutes before the receptionist informed me that she must have forgotten about the appointment. Even my therapist stands me up. FML
Today, I had two different doctor's appointments with different specialists at the same hospital. Doctor #1 kept me waiting so long doctor #2 refused to see me. I tried to explain I was in the building and why I was late, but he wouldn’t hear it. I’d already waited 4 months for these appointments. FML
Today, I walked into what I thought was my doctor’s new office building for my appointment. I sat down, only to realize five minutes later that I was sitting in a small conference room where they were holding a staff meeting, and not the waiting room I thought it was. I had to wait for the doctor's receptionist to come get me. FML
Today, I had to bring my youngest (a 3 year-old) with me to my therapist's, due to not having childcare. After waiting 10 minutes, the receptionist called me up to the desk to inform me that my therapist wouldn’t be seeing me, because of my child being there. Nothing like wasting an hour of my time. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room with my boyfriend, only to sit there for 3 hours waiting for him to be seen, then having an argument with him about how impatient I am because they never called his name. FML
Today, an interviewer kept me waiting for 20 minutes at reception, then marked me "late" in his feedback. FML
Today, where I work at a pharmacy, we were short staffed and running 4 hours behind. A lady came to drop off a new prescription. When I explained to her the wait time, she called the patient. I heard, "No, they don't look busy." Like, really? FML

53 - OP had an appointment. While you're right in saying she should've spoken up the office still should've seen her that day.

@53 if you make an appointment and they refuse to see you because of their mistake, then you should be telling them to forward your medical records to your next doctor, because you wont be returning there again. you might want to make a point of suggesting this be done at no cost to you, to cover the cost of wasting your time. any health professional will give you the extra 10 minutes of their time, because they care about their patients welfare, and not just the bottom line. not speaking up was definitely stupid, but when the mistake comes on the doctors end it is their job to rectify it. if i were consulting and someone was overlooked my receptionist would cop it, so i imagine this is the reason they tried to get the patient out of there rather than push them through to see the doctor.

how old are you OP?

There's generally a policy that states that you should talk to the receptionist after an hour of being unseen to so I'd say you kind of deserve it for not saying anything. No harm in asking right?
