I can't imagine someone making a doctor's appointment and forgetting what it was for.

Think of older people or those with multiple comorbidities/problems. They often see multiple providers in a month/week/day.

I’ve not seen my doctor in years soooo I can’t imagine I’d need this LPT.

3 week wait for a non urgent appointment atm where I live. I have multiple health issues and could easily forgot what a specific appointment is for.

How often do you go to the doctor? 10 times a year? And you keep forgetting what for??

I have not been to the doctor in 10 years I think. How could you forget what your appointment is for

I don't think it's just for remembering why you're going to the doctor's but more like have a timeline of your symptoms/ diseases so that in the future if you're ill and a health professional asks for your history, you could pinpoint when certain symptoms started etc.

If you’re blessed with multiple ailments it gets pretty confusing pretty quickly.
