Punctuality

we run by the minutes, if not seconds...
I am wasting time again, no thanks to the clinician, who scheduled a ward round this morning and canceling it with a phone call to the ward, 'Ar, I am in some operation now. Come this evening!' He couldn't have picked a better time. I wonder how can he forget that we, not being robots programmed by the University, made our own plans and have to cancel it in favor of this, unexpected turn of events, to add to the fact that the 'plans' mentioned is not of private matter, it's about selling pen to raise money for the Medical Society's annual event... I wonder again don't they have schedules in hospitals? Don't they at least pen down who's supposed to do which operation and when is it supposed to be done? Maybe we're still students, but we sure deserve some explanation, not being proud or cocky here, but this is a disrespect. In my opinion, promises are not meant to be broken, and I cannot tolerate the habit of not being punctual. That's why I hate Chinese dinners, especially wedding dinners... Excuses are always lousy to me, unless he has some kind of really good reasons, backed up with some proof!
