[quote=Anonymous]Doctors can have perfectly understandable reasons for running late, but if it's causing you stress to deal with patients that are frustrated at having to wait 45 minutes+ to see the doctor, then maybe you need a new strategy at least for communicating with patients. At this point I am used to having to wait a while to see the doctor but the one time I got angry was when I was left in an exam room for over an hour with zero information about when I might expect to see the doctor. I had to threaten to leave, and then suddenly she was available (I switched doctors after this). Doctors are not the only people who have stressful or packed schedules. You can't expect patients to wait indefinitely when they have an appointment they scheduled and planned for weeks in advance. We have jobs, children and other appointments.[/quote]
