as eligibility is contingent upon adherence to regulations and ethical principles. Doctors retain the discretion to cancel appointments based on their professional judgment, and perspectives on this matter may vary among healthcare providers. Certain conditions are commonly associated with a higher likelihood of appointment cancellation. These include:

Controlled Medications:
Notably, substances like narcotics, benzodiazepines, and stimulants fall within this category.
-
Psychiatric Conditions:
Due to the complexity of psychiatric care, some cases may require in-person evaluation and management.
-
Abdominal Pain or Chest Pain:
These symptoms, which could be indicative of serious underlying issues, may necessitate immediate, on-site medical attention.
-
Emergency Symptoms:
Conditions such as shortness of breath and suicidal tendencies may warrant immediate intervention and may be better addressed through traditional in-person healthcare services.
