Ok but how come i have to fill out that paper every time i come in? I've been to the same clinic over and over. Do they just throw my information away? Is it busywork to buy them time? I know it's a minor quibble but fucking hell

At the office I worked at, the receptionist was underpaid and didn't give a fuck, and the manager was 100% revenue motivated and didn't give a fuck. The MD had tunnel vision on his work and couldn't be bothered to get his staff under control. Also everyone was high. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I have a few doctors like this.

One in particular, you have to schedule your whole day for the appointment. Even if it's virtual.

There's the call for the copay, the call for the vitals, the call with the midlevel, then the call with the doctor. I've waited over 5 hours just for the doctor before.

My next appointment with that doctor is after business hours. I am not looking forward to that late night.

Why would you stay with that doctor? Switch

[โ€“] acetanilide@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I would, but the only other doctor available who treats my condition in my area won't see me because I already saw the first doctor.

It it was only an hour โณ๐Ÿ’€

A previous provider of mine changed locations. The front office staff took 2 months to tell patients. We showed up for an appointment we had made a month earlier and they laughed at us. Easiest decision I have ever made.

An hour? Try three to four hours. I'd pay through the nose to only wait one hour past appointment time.

I don't put up with it lol. If someone is 15 late for an appt, I reschedule. Black and white. No exceptions.
