[quote=Anonymous]I also had a doctor almost 45 minutes late this morning but they had someone come into the exam room at the 25 minute mark to apologize and assure me I was next and hadn't been forgotten, and then the doctor apologized when he came in and again when he left.

Your doc should have apologized pro forma, but many times they can't help it and it's just how it is. The appointment I went to today was a clinic for a rare speciality that deals only with cancer patients. Nobody is quick in and out and they can't rush anybody because every patient has something complicated and possibly life-threatening. My visit today was pretty brief but the initial visit last month, they spent almost an hour with me trying to figure stuff out. Walk out and find another provider? There isn't one, unless I want to drive to Hopkins in Baltimore and waste even more time. I've learned by now that doctor's offices always run late and to arrange my day accordingly and bring something to do. I've got no choice. We are all running at the extremes and everyone is about to snap. He should have apologized but I seriously don't know what you think your response accomplished. [/quote]
