[quote]Firstly, that's not true at all. Doctors are not ethically required to accept all patients. That's only incumbent on ERs. Try going to a plastic surgeon and explaining that you cannot pay the fees. They 100% can turn you away. And practices turn away bad fit patients all the time. This is not hard to understand.

But instead of over scheduling every single patient, [b]they can triage through nursing, virtual appointments, tel consults, etc. when necessary. There are about a dozen different modern options available through technology which any medical practice can implement to provide services at different price points, convenience levels and urgency needs.[/b] BUT they don't. Because they can charge for every head that comes in.

Not rocket science, and clearly not difficult for anyone to understand. [/quote]

[quote]Wait -- do you think that if a patient is booked for just one thing, then that is all you deal with in the visit?[/quote]

PS: I mean, so if you screen out anything other than the single complaint for which you have scheduled the booking, and if the person doing the booking reviews the triage guidelines, are you saying that most visits will just be about that one thing?

No "While I have you here .." or "by the way ..," and no "one other thing, doc, while I'm here ...?" And that patients will tell you the most important, time consuming thing that should be the purpose of the visit, not some little thing that can be squeezed in and then they drop the time bomb in the room?

Most of the visits can avoid that, you think? Just checking.[/quote]
