re: To all Doctors out There

I had a dentist try to charge me a no-show fee once. The problem was I showed up 15 minutes before, signed in, and waited 45 minutes after my appointment. I told the receptionist I couldn't wait any longer and left.

Told that bitch to sue me and got another dentist.

I have no problem with the practice for any job that relies on appointments and can't back fill a no-show. But there needs to be some sort of reciprocity for the ones that make patients/customers wait. The fact that there isn't and won't ever be proves how little the habitually late respect everyone else's time.
