Health & appointments

Appointments kept, preparation done, follow-ups that don't quietly disappear.

A missed appointment is rarely forgetfulness alone. It is a letter that arrived six weeks early, a preparation step nobody explained clearly, or a follow-up that was supposed to be booked by someone else and never was.

Health admin has an awkward shape: long gaps, then a sudden cluster of things that all matter. Annual screenings, a course of physiotherapy, the bowel prep the day before a procedure, eye drops for weeks after surgery. The interval is usually too long to hold in your head and too important to leave to chance.

These articles are about the whole appointment, not just the hour of it: the reminder to book, the preparation the day before, getting there, and the follow-up afterwards that is the most commonly dropped step of all.
