My appointment was at 7:45 am and it was already 7:35 am. I arrived at 7:42am and while still at the parking lot, I already checked-in to ensure that I’ll still be on time. Once inside the lab, I waited for a few minutes and when it was my turn, I found out that the doc office hadn't done any orders into the system yet. So, I had to cancel it. I called the doc office, of course, they’re still closed because they open at 9am. I just left a message. Next, I went to Walgreens because there are pending medications I need to pick up.
