me: Okay, next available is next Tuesday. Does that work for you?
pt: Well I'm going out of town I can't do that.
me: When will you be back?
pt: You can't get me in before next week?
me: Like I said, next available is next Tuesday. They have nothing before then.
pt: But I'll be out of town next week.
me: So when will you be back?
pt: I come back and then leave for Europe. I need this week. Are you sure there is nothing available?
me: No. There is nothing.
pt: But I need it. I just told you, I'm going out of town.
me: You'll have to try a different location then. I am sorry, next available is next Tuesday.
pt: Ridiculous! You can't accommodate me? You'll be losing a patient!
me: I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do. Their schedule is full this week. If you wanted to try later for a cancellation, feel free. But other than that there is nothing I can do.
pt: I'm calling your boss!
