    I really don't get the thought of "checking in" for my appointment days ahead of time. I'm probably going to continue to ignore any emails that ask me to "check in" if I'm not actually present at the facility. I'm glad to "confirm" my appointment, as a reminder from Gundersen that I have an appointment coming up, and I'm still planning on making it. But, he idea of "checking in" doesn't make any sense until I walk through the door. That's when I'll "check in".
