Okay seriously - why the hell does it take an hour to see your primary care physician after your appointment time? I think this field is the only one that appointment times are completely ignored by the employees yet if a patient is even 15 minutes late, they are chastised & may possibly be refused by the doctor or payment is still expected. Um...what is wrong with this picture?
So I'm sitting here waiting to see my doctor for a mandatory "check" so I can continue to receive one of the many prescriptions I have to take (which is a whole other irritant of mine) - its been OVER an hour since I arrived, early mind you, for my appointment time. We all know the visit will take a whole 5 min but I have to sit & wait until the doctor comes to my room. WTH. I'm not getting paid for this crap. Actually - as most responsible people, I have a job in which I have taken time off to come give my money to another establishment that doesn't adhere to appointment scheduling.
Hello! I'm busy too! Again, another jacked up system. Do I get compensated for my time of waiting...no.
Going to the doctor is like listening to the weather. We all know the waiting period before you are actually seen is ridiculous (don't make any plans for later-you never know how long you will be there) just like the weather person can be wrong about predicting the weather & it's acceptable (shoot, if I could be right only 50% of the time @ my job & it be ok that would be awesome). Don't get me wrong - doctors are busy & I respect what they do - but come on!
What's the point of making an appointment if it still takes forever to get in?
