    How would I ask clients to promise to contact me if they cannot keep their appointments?

    This should be normal, but sadly, it isn't. Draft a general policy on how you will handle this, and communicate this to all your clients. For example: "We understand you sometimes can't keep your appointments. Please let us know 24 hours in advance. If you fail to let us know twice, we will charge you our normal fee."

    My license was suspended for medical reasons, but my doctor has since given me the go-ahead to drive again. How do I get my license back?

    In most situations, if you take a letter from your doctor to the Department of Motor Vehicles office, or wherever you normally go to get or renew a driver's license, this should suffice. Your letter will need to state the condition that you had, the date that your condition was resolved, and it should state specifically that the doctor clears you for driving. This would be for a regular driver's license. If you held a license for driving a big rig, bus, or taxi, there may be medical examinations that you have to complete to satisfy the DMV.

    Who do I call to make an appointment?
    Community Answer
    That depends entirely on what you want to make an appointment for. However, if you cannot find a direct number to make an appointment (say, at your doctor's office), you can usually call any main line number and they will be able to direct you to the scheduling department.

    Do you need an appointment for a checkup? Do you need an appointment to go to the hospital?

    Yes, you need an appointment for a check-up. No, you do not need an appointment to be admitted to a hospital. If you're really sick or injured, just go to the emergency department.
