I was his first appointment of the day. I saw him arrive while sitting in the waiting room. I asked him why I was kept waiting so long and he lied and said he’d been stuck with another patient. I told him that I saw him walk past me with his coat on his arm and a cup of coffee.. Never went back to him again. This was at CAO Ortho in foxhall. [/quote]

If he is an ortho surgeon he might have been held up doing rounds prior to going to his practice.  Some of you don't seem to understand what doctors do.[/quote]

So...poor scheduling. Allocate more time for rounds.

Allocate more time from where? They can’t control if 7 new ortho patients got admitted overnight and suddenly they are rounding on 12 patients instead of 5. Or 20 instead of 5. [/quote]

Start office hours later on hospital days.

It's not that hard to figure out.  :roll:

Got it. So, see fewer patients overall. Sounds ideal. Hope you don’t need to see a specialist anytime soon because they’ve taken your advice and your appointment date for your brain tumor is in March 2024.[/quote]

Yes, see fewer patients if you can't figure out how to manage your time and schedule better. 
[/quote]

Uh, maybe manage your health better and then you won't need to see your doctor.  :roll: [/quote]

I'm good with my doctors, thanks. I dropped the ones who can't handle the basics. 
[/quote]

So what are you moaning about? [/quote]

Doctors with poor scheduling. Try to keep up. 
[/quote]

Why, though? Apparently it doesn't affect you. [/quote]

Why are you on this thread? Are you bad at scheduling your time? Need any pointers? 
[/quote]

Nope, but I'm curious what you do, since you seem to have [b]so much criticism for doctors[/b]. Obviously your job is not nearly as busy nor important as a doctor's. [/quote]

Only the ones with poor scheduling skills. I've had great doctors too.

So how many patients have you pissed off this week so far? Remember - it's only Tuesday. 
[/quote]

Hon, if I were a doctor, I wouldn't have the time to keep posting on this stupid thread. [/quote]
