Welcome to Not in the Visit Note-the podcast where clinicians say the quiet parts out loud.

In this episode of Not in the Visit Note, we’re diving into the world of patient cancellations, no-shows, and last-minute reschedules—the silent disruptors of every therapist schedule. From same-day cancellations and unexplained absences to the creative excuses that never make it into the chart, we talk about how missed appointments impact providers, staff, and patient care itself. Beyond the frustration, we explore how these cancellations affect our mental health, financial stability, and productivity....and the creative ways we spend our unexpected free time.  Honest, relatable, and a little therapeutic, this episode covers what happens when the patient never walks through the door.

No names. No facilities. Just validation, dark humor, and the stuff that never makes it into the visit note.
