I went for a mammogram in the small town nearest to where I live. The female population is about 2,500 and the checks are free and can be scheduled pretty much to suit you. Despite this I was told that in the last week alone 157 appointments were missed and NOT ONE phoned to cancel, they just didn’t bother to turn up.
I simply can’t understand this. Yes, it’s awkward, uncomfortable and a bit scary but it’s a free, potentially life saving exam!
