I don't like two in one day.

Do you schedule your appointments for one day so you can get them done all at once, or do you just have one a day, for however many days you need? I was supposed to get labs done tomorrow, and I need to do it first thing in the morning since I have to fast before the test. Due to the pandemic, their hours are different. Then, one of my other doctors called me and said they had to see me in the morning or they couldn't refill one of my prescriptions for another month. It is only an hour after the lab opens, and I'm concerned I won't make it on time. A lot of people like to get their labs done as soon as they open. Fortunately, the two sites are fairly close to each other.
I try to schedule one medical appointment a day, and I have them probably every two weeks. Of course, some weeks I get two per week, but if I have two on the same day my back usually kills me. Waiting in uncomfortable chairs is routine to a lot of us, I'm sure.
I think several mylotters are so busy they try to get them all in the same day.

@dgobucks226 Just like you, I am so stressed to go to see doctors and the dentist right now.

I prefer one appointment a week. Never two the same day. I have too much trouble getting around and get exhausted if I have to do more than one thing a day. Have a great day.

For me it is 100% depending on the type of appointments, if they are all somehow related or at the same location, I prefer to get them scheduled for the same day if possible.

@AmbiePam that is why I said it depends on the type of appointments. Those that I know wear me out or makes my body ache if too much - I will not schedule on the same day.

I don't think I have ever had two medical or dental appointments in one day. I don't like appointments and try to schedule them as far apart as possible.

Because I work full time I have 1 day during the week that I try to get my appointments done.
Tomorrow I have fasting lab work done, early like yourself, and then I'll stop off at home and kick back for a while and then go for my hair appointment.
I know that I will have the afternoon to relax and do whatever else needs to be done.

In the summer I have to space them out otherwise my employees aren't working. Sometimes I can manage one in the morning first thing and the other after hours at night but it makes for a shorter day.

I try to schedule appointments weeks or months apart if I can. I don't enjoy running around from one place to the next. I find it can get stressful. And like you mentioned time can be a factor. In your case you didn't really have a choice.

No matter what I wish all the appointments go well
