November 14, 2011

I don't understand why a doctor will schedule me for one time, yet not show up to the appointment until nearly an hour after the agreed upon time.  Perhaps they are doing important doctor things, but then why schedule an appointment you won't be able to make?  Or why not tell me, "We're scheduled for 2:40 p.m., but I won't be there until 3:20 p.m., just for your information."  I plan my time Monday through Friday with a bit of detail and the last thing I want to be doing is spending any of that time in a waiting room with old copies of random magazines.  What adds to the confusion is when the appointment itself lasts no longer than fifteen minutes; what on earth is holding these doctors up?
