Canadian Cancer Society Niagara!

This morning I had an early appointment for a CTScan. I called the Canadian Cancer Society in Niagara for a ride to the hospital. I called them in good time. Re-confirmed my address.
I had to avoid eating, drinking for two hours prior to my appointment. I was up at 5:00am as I had to take my meds
Here I was waiting for my ride. 8:15 passed and I was worried I had to be there for 8:30 no way was that possible.
Naturally I tried calling but low & behold they don't open till 9:00am - no way to get a hold of anyone. Called the hospital my appointment had to be cancelled though re-booked for the following Monday! This was the third postponement!! The first the CT Scanner was down second snow storm third this mess today.

At 9:00am I called them wanting to find out why the driver never showed up here. She said oh but he did.... I asked where? He went to my former address. I asked why when you had all my current info on file in fact a driver came here the day of the storm only to learn my appointment was cancelled. She was apologetic. But I still wanted to find out. She went on to explain that the first address was on the schedule. Why?? She said they couldn't edit the information I said that made no sense whatsoever! What does the driver do guess between addresses? Hit & miss? I told her I had changed everything the phone was my cell phone and it did not ring. Not being able to edit was not a satisfactory explanation when this Scan is important as there was a potential problem.. The system was so disorganized the right hand was clueless what the left was doing. I seriously have to wonder how many others missed appointments due to this inept system of not being able to edit addresses....
No Roses for them sadly a brick.......

But I'm not an Aetheist and I shouldn't have to make something up to keep her quiet.
I think there should be some do's & don'ts when you become involved
as a driver transporting people. As they say
Keep SEX POLITICS and RELIGION out off Conversations with people you don't know....
Just pepper your conversation with all the swear words that you have ever heard. That should shock her into being quiet! laugh123

Good answer but I don't generally swear..... laugh123

A fact of life:

Cancer Societies exist for one purpose and one purpose only: TO RAISE MONEY. Expect nothing more and you will never be disappointed.

Ferret out only one salient factor and the reality of the scheme will enfold before your eyes: THE SALARY AND PERKS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S HEAD.
