Hi Miriam, I was at NJH in December, scheduled from Dec 7 (Wed) - Dec 16 (Fri). I too had an appointment scheduled the last Friday afternoon. We had driven to Denver from Georgia and were watching the weather for our trip back. I had a lot of appointments the first 4 days and then just a couple on Tuesday and the wrap up one on Friday afternoon. If we had stayed the entire scheduled time, we would have run into storms on the way home. My doctor was Dr. Griffith and I asked him on that Monday if we it was necessary to stay all the way to Friday since it looked like I would be finishing my last tests and appointments on Tuesday. He was fine with it. I didn’t have any complications or anything too out of the ordinary to keep me there for more tests. I met with Dr. Griffith on MWF and on TTh, I saw another doctor or a nurse practitioner each afternoon for a wrap-up. I would suggest that when you meet with your doctor and are comfortable with him/her, just tell them the situation and ask if they could move up the last appointment. Dr. Griffith was very amiable. Hopefully whoever you see will be too.
