[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 100% with you, OP. I am so tired of the social acceptance that doctors can keep you waiting an hour plus - all because they over schedule the same time slots. It is the sh$ttiest practice model and we all seem to take it over and over again. I have zero sympathy for most practices, as I've yet to have a doctor who was genuinely remorseful or sympathetic that a patient had been left in a waiting room to waste their valuable time.

I'm an attorney. I can promise you that if I left a client waiting for 45 minutes, they'd find another atty - and with good reason. We should not be shelling out money to professionals who disrespects their entire client base day in and day out.

And all of this "but it was an emergency!" BS. No, it is not an emergency every day. It is a culture of overbooking. Period. [/quote]

and why do they overbook? Because people expect- no, demand!- to see a doctor for every little thing, and a specialist half the time at that. If you want them to see fewer patients, expect that you won’t ever get an appointment unless you’re aboht to die, and even then it will be for 2 weeks from now. [/quote]

LOL. Maybe if you put a little more time into planning your schedule instead of manufacturing hysterical scenarios your patients wouldn't be so pissed off.
