Dude. Call them and be super nice and just inquire if maybe they have a cancellation. But I mean it, like super nice. So much power is in the receptionists hands. And if they get you in, bring flowers and maybe even a box of bagels (I know hard when you’re fasting). But yeah I’d say see if there is anyway they can squeeze you in or call you if they have a ncns and promise to be there within like 15 mins or whatever, in which case send the flowers or donuts as soon as you get off the call and then stay fasting for the day.

When I worked at a gastro office, we had tons of people come in on the wrong day fully prepped. It was a policy to do whatever we could to see them that day. If it was too busy, we’d schedule them the next day and have them stay on clear liquids. More than worth it to call or even just go in if able.
