HealthcareScheduling & Booking4HighPatient$ implied

A physical therapy practice repeatedly loses booked appointments and obstructs regular scheduling due to a hostile receptionist, preventing consistent care.

The practice relies on a single receptionist to manually schedule and track appointments, leading to lost records and inconsistent availability; no automated system exists to ensure appointments are saved, cancellations are filled fairly, or patients can self-schedule.
