"Not happy"

I am not happy with the hospital, because I went all the way there, and my son's appointment got cancelled after 8 months of waiting for an appointment. I didn't get a letter or a phone call to say it had been cancelled, so I am not happy about this. It's not fair, I have been waiting for 8 months for my son to been seen!
