Check and double check

I had a phone call a few weeks back giving me an appointment for an electrocardiogram. On the due date, at the due time we went to Vega Baja hospital only to find that the department was closed. So we went back yesterday to enquire and discovered that my appointment was actually at Torrevieja doh!.

I kind of expected the appointment to be at Vega Baja because that is what the consultant in Orihuela had said. My own doctor had also presumed it would be there.

If only I had double checked the details on the phone and not presumed, I would have got it right. So I will have to go and eat humble pie and hope to get another appointment bearing in mind it took three months to get this one.
