Because it was the first time and I didn't know how to get there, how to enter the parking lot, or how to leave the parking lot towards the clinic. It was a bit stressful, otherwise the visit was satisfactory.

The hospital made the appointment and it was at the wrong place. They sent me there to remove my gallbladder and I haven't had one in 35 years. So someone dropped the ball it was a nightmare. No one new who made the appointment

Nurses need to stick to nursing and stop attempting to explain things that aren't a part of their career field. Such as how chain of custody works with evidence for law enforcement.
