Last month, I think my PDOCs receptionist told me that my next appt was January 8 at 9:40. Now, obviously I found out the 8th was a Sunday so she must have meant the 9th. But I have an appointment scheduled with a new T on January 9 at 10 AM. I'm confused.

Sounds like you'll have to confirm when the MD appointment is and then possibly reschedule one of the appointments.

I will have to do it early in the morning. Hopefully, they open at 8.

I start a new job tomorrow also. From 12-6.

Do you not have an appointment card with the date and time on it? I never leave without one, even if I put it in my calendar. That way if I screw up putting it in my own calendar, or somehow they screw up in putting it in their system (it happens), then I have the written date and time to show them or double-check with.

If you aren't expecting a med change, just reschedule if necessary so that you don't miss work. If their is no med change involved, you probably don't need monthly appointments anyway.

I don't need any med changes but my psychiatrist still brings me in every month.

Congrats on the new job!

Don't worry too much about the mixup- these things happen to everyone! Do you think it would be easier to change the appointment with the psychiatrist? That might be the one I would go with changing.

It probably isn't necessary, and since you are financially struggling, maybe you should talk to your pdoc about stretching out your appointments a bit -- every six weeks or so.

good luck at your job!

Maybe she meant Jan. 18th? Do you not get any reminder calls? I don't get them for my T/MC, but I usually get one a day or two days before for p-doc appointments. If it is supposed to be tomorrow, probably better to reschedule p-doc appointment than new T. Only issue would be if you needed a refill, and even then, it can be called in.
