[quote=Anonymous]I am a provider and I run on time. But, it is a cash practice, which means that I can schedule fewer patients each day and give each patient the time they need without causing a domino effect on my other appointments. The downside is that I know I am not able to give care to all of the people who cannot afford to pay out of pocket. But, I am less stressed and rushed with my patients and provide (what I think is) really good care. I think that in general doctors are overworked and overbooked because the practices demand it and because the docs are generally good people who will squeeze in a patient who needs to be seen ASAP. Fwiw, I hate waiting at my doctor's office, but I do understand a little better why the 7 or 10 minute appoint slots just aren't enough for most patients and there is bound to be a backup. [/quote]
