Linked List Error

My menu drive system works and I am able to enter the information about the appointment that the menu asks for, however; when I try to "Print all appointments" I get an error. I think an infinite loop is the problem or that I am not entering the information (cin>>) correctly.  Thanks for your help. There are 500 point resting on your ability to answer this question.
