I'm Sorry I'm Late, To Whom Do I Make This Check?

Earlier today, I posted about a novel way to make sure clients keep their appointments.  In a comment to that post, a reader wrote:

That is a good plan except it should work both ways. With rare exceptions, I have never had a doctor get me in on time.

I agree.  Imagine if you promised to donate the same amount you charged for missed appointments to your client’s charity of choice if you are the one who misses the appointment.
