Loss of Business

Medicine is business and the weather effects revenue. Yesterday most of my patients cancelled. There is no way to make up the business as they have weekly appointments. Just like a restaurant, the day's business is gone. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon and against my better judgement I went to it in the storm. I arrived early and hoped to get out quickly. I called ahead to make sure that the doctor was there. When I arrived it was hailing. There was only one other woman there before me. We sat for 45 minutes and neither of us was taken in. I looked outside and it was snowing. The office now had 6 people waiting. I had a 2:25pm appointment time and it was now 2:35. I got up and said that I was leaving as my safety was more important than this visit. I also said that I had been here 50 minutes and no one had been seen and the doctor was here. I got up and so did the other 6 people. I said a polite goodbye and went to the elevator. Within 1 second, a nurse came running after me. She said the doctor would see me immediately, so I should come back in. I guess he didn't want to lose a day's business.
