But no one who complains actually cares. They need to walk in, be seen, walk out, take all the time they need while they’re there, and they would also like you to have the ERMD and ICU nurse wait on hold while they wait until you are walking out the door to mention their dick not working.

I found out my children's pediatrician starts scheduling appointments at 8am but doesn't even get to the office until 9:30.

No wonder we always have to wait forever to see him. What kind of BS is that?

I’d not go to that doctor.

I didn't read all the replies but you have a sick side and a well side. Same doctors. They have to fit in all the sick kids between those appointments.

FWIW, 99% of healthcare is a scam anyway. The idea that you have to go visit a clinic to get the same dose of amoxicillin is a racket. Sure there are the other 1% of times when something is actually wrong. But most of the time if we could get amoxicillin otc, we wouldn't have near the backup in doctor's offices.

You could also put Z-packs and steroids on that list too. Of course some meth head would be killing their kids, but that's par for the course and the reason we can't have nice things.

Today I learned that doctors can't keep the lights on, although my insurance goes up (along with everyone else's) every year and there are huge clinics on every other corner of South baton rouge.
