Mary Alice,  Boy how short sighted can some people get.  I think I might
have little cards made up or form letters along the lines of. " I am sorry
I was unable to see your patient Mrs M. because of a cut back in my hours.
You may want to issue any complaints to the  Administrator of this
hospital."  Then I would elicit the help of the nurses. If they gave you a
list each day of patients to be seen you could send a note to the doctors
whose patients you did not see, or give the list to the administrator.
Too Harsh??
