I dont think Id have taken no for an answer, Id have prob try order one if possible, or can get one cheap enough.
How crap. I hope they manage to slot you in soon.
Although, being on the other side, my consultant had to fly to india for a fam emergency drop of a hat and I had to cancel 4 days worth of clinics with no dates to book into because we didnt know when hed be back.
Not much consolation, but I feel for the admin people too, I imagine they have a full day or more to cancel of loads of ladies expecting a 12 week scan.
Hope they can see you soon.
