I actually did ask my Doctor about why this happens once. Mainly it's because if a patient before you has something that needs more time it messes up the schedule for every patient after... and this happens every single day. If no one cancels their appointments, then this problem just continually compounds throughout the day. The best bet to being seen on time is to be the first patient of the day.
Or just intentionally show up a few minutes late and take the mild scolding from the receptionist. It's not like they're going to turn ya away
I wish that were true. It isn't. My doc routinely sets me up as his first or second patient of the day and he's always late. Docs seem to like blaming patients for their own faults.
Doc went to medical school and you didn’t, therefore he is a better person and you will wait for their special attention. If you have to wait, that’s your fault for not being a doctor. Oh you’re an ace engineer? Fuck you I’m a doctor
Source: related to a couple docs and they are fucking insufferable
Credentialism. Some doctors treat their staff the same way. If an argument, no matter how logical, comes from someone that doesn't have an MD, PhD, or other doctor initials behind their name, it gets automatically dismissed. For some, it's even on non-medical stuff. This happens with non-medical academics, too.
Your tires need to be rotated, the tread is wearing unevenly. I know this cause I’ve turned a wrench or two.
Oh…you’re a doctor and don’t see a problem? Ok, pass the potatoes and if you die in a car crash…they’ll refer to you as Dr 👍
Officers in the military did this shit.
Fuck you, sir. Your PolySci degree doesn't count for shit when we are talking about non-ionizing radiation. No the High Fox isnt going to "fry" you and make you sterile, the standoff is 14 feet, stop waving me back.
