neutral  AllegroTrans: "I have to schedule an appointment" sounds very unnatural to me, but I only say this from a UK English standpoint; I would think it's the hospital that schedules the appointment, not the patient; however, we don't know who is saying this
15 hrs
  -> I guess I sound very unnatural then when I call the "scheduling secretary" at my doctor's office to "schedule an appointment".
