re: acceptable wait at Doctors office

The way I see it is that I usually take time off of work to go see the doctor. If I'm not there for some unscheduled reason I'm going to walk out if they are way past the hour or two I scheduled to be out of the office. I'll go tell them I'm leaving and why.

Yeah the "backed up" excuse doesn't fly. Minimum effort would be required to put off the appt or move the patient.

The medical field is the least patient friendly system we have. shite, how many die of something they catch in the hospital?

My bud just retired, he was CEO of a health system (made hella money) but that shite burned him out.

My experience may not be normal, but I've been misdiagnosed and mistreated so many times I got to the point I don't go unless I might die.

And I am not sitting in a waiting room for two hours ever again.

I have very little faith in our medical systems at all. Youre a number, they'll get to you when its convenient.
