That seems very harsh Tishie.  If people had adequate reminders of appointments and a means to reschedule by phone, the amount of missed appointments would be greatly reduced. If a person misses their appointment due to a hospital emergency, it shouldn't even be considered a missed appointment.  When such a rare occasion occurs, the doctors could make good use of that time by either spending a few extra minutes with patients, writing up reports, or making phone calls.
