Today I would like to talk about an incident when I forgot an appointment with the anthropologist. I had a serious back pain issue even I couldn’t sit properly and sleep or bend as well. It was due to carry a heavy weight of a water basket. It was such a serious and painful time on me. I shared it with one of my friends. Then she told me that her mother also had a fight with this pain. She is just a doctor who is specialist of these kind of problems. After that I took a number of doctors and booked my appointment. Suddenly in the next day my bosom friend went to Canada for further education. So she wanted to run a party among all of our friends. So I promised her to join them. Later I got a call from the clinic. The receptionist asked me about my appointment. Later I got a call from the clinic. I felt very bad because I have missed my appointment. I apologized her and requested her to book my appointment and reschedule her in the next day. So she was very kind. She booked my appointment in the next day. So when I reached next day, when I checked my doctor, she told me that if I had delayed the appointment further, it would have affected my other serious problems. That was the time when I missed my appointment.
