Missing a dentist appointment
What the appointment was for
I'm going to talk about a time when I missed a dentist appointment. It was supposed to be a routine check-up, something I try to do every six months to ensure my teeth are in good condition. I had been experiencing some sensitivity in one of my molars, so it was particularly important for me to attend this appointment.
Who you made it with
I had made the appointment with my regular dentist, Dr. Chen, who has been taking care of my dental health for the past few years. Dr. Chen is very professional and always gives me good advice on how to maintain my oral hygiene. I had scheduled the appointment about a month in advance, so it was definitely on my calendar.
Why you forgot/missed it
The reason I missed the appointment was because I got caught up in a work project that had a tight deadline. I was so engrossed in finishing a report that I completely lost track of time. By the time I realized, it was already past the appointment time, and the dental clinic had closed for the day. I felt terrible because I knew how important it was to keep up with my dental check-ups, and I also felt guilty for wasting Dr. Chen's time.
And explain how you felt about the experience
Missing the appointment made me feel quite stressed and disappointed in myself. I usually pride myself on being organized and punctual, so this was a bit of a wake-up call. It taught me the importance of setting reminders and perhaps even delegating tasks when I'm overwhelmed with work. I immediately called the clinic the next day to apologize and reschedule the appointment. Fortunately, they were understanding and managed to fit me in later that week. This experience has made me more conscious of balancing my work commitments with personal responsibilities, ensuring that I don't overlook important appointments in the future.
錯過牙醫預約
預約的原因
我想談談一次我錯過牙醫預約的經歷。那本應該是一個例行的檢查，我通常每六個月做一次，以確保我的牙齒狀況良好。我那時感覺到其中一顆臼齒有點敏感，所以這次預約對我來說特別重要。
預約對象
這次預約是和我常去的牙醫陳醫生約的，這幾年來一直是陳醫生在照顧我的牙齒健康。陳醫生非常專業，總是給我很多保持口腔清潔的好建議。我大約在一個月前就安排了這次預約，所以這肯定已經寫在我的行事曆上。
忘記或錯過的原因
我錯過這次預約的原因是因為我被一個緊迫截止日期的工作項目纏住了。我全神貫注地寫報告，完全忘了時間。當我意識到時，已經過了預約時間，診所也關門了。當時我感到非常難過，因為我知道定期檢查牙齒的重要性，而且我也為浪費了陳醫生的時間感到內疚。
對這次經歷的感受
錯過預約讓我感到既有壓力又失望。我平時以有條理和守時為傲，這次經歷對我來說是一個警鐘。它讓我明白設定提醒的重要性，甚至在工作繁忙時考慮分配任務。隔天我立刻打電話到診所道歉並重新安排預約。幸運的是，他們很理解，並且幫我安排在那周稍後的時間。這次經歷讓我更加注意平衡工作和個人責任，確保未來不會忽略重要的預約。
