95% of the time I just need an antibiotic. I'll go directly to specialist if it's something else

That is why u dont go to non specialist for kids. Most of time it is viral and antibiotics given to appease parents.

With my health issues I've had to deal with Dr's, nurses,etc...far more than anyone would like. I can say from what I've heard/learned a lot of the problem causing Dr's to run late is paperwork. The amount of paperwork they have to file/write up in order to be paid by Insurance companies/Medicare/Medicaid. They spend most of their day doing that paperwork rather than 1 on 1 patient care. Another problem is when patients usually older that don't get out much like to chit chat with the Dr's about nonsense that slows them down. Nurses don't get near the appreciation they deserve..the things they have to deal with isn't worth the pay. Not just from patients but a lot of Dr's are complete A holes, maybe because of lack of sleep. BTW I've asked lots of Dr's and all of them said Obamacare sucks.

I'm a lawyer who represents docs almost exclusively. Not malpractice, but compliance, regulatory, and business matters. You couldn't pay me enough to be a GP or internal medicine doc.
No patient has any idea the burden and time docs put in before seeing patients, between seeing patients, and after seeing patients simply to be paid for seeing patients. No other profession or trade has to deal with the same problems just to get paid. It's truly mind boggling.
That being said, if I made one of my doc clients wait 45 minutes after their scheduled appointment to see me, I'd be out of business. The administrative and time burden isn't the customer/client/patient problem, and the professional needs to structure his or her day accordingly. Some days I leave at 3:00, some days I'm meeting with clients at 9:00 pm.

Primary care. Believe me primary care is all about the care and nothing about the $. The $ is in surgery.

the bureaucracy to get ANYTHING done is mindboggling. Society NEEDS "A" students to become drs. Bureaucracy is going to screw up that paradigm. Do u really want a "C" student operating on your kid? We need to figure out this reimbursement obamacare insurance bureaucracy and get back to patient care or we all will get more and more frustrated with medicine.

Obviously by your pretentious posts in this thread. Have you ever made a mistake during the duration of your time practicing that your willing to say was completely your fault?

Great observations!
The paperwork is ridiculous--the majority is unnecessary/redundant. Most primary care providers have to see 25-30 patients a day to have a successful practice. You have an 8:30 sick visit that comes in for sinus symptoms and then throws out...Oh, and while I'm here I've been having panic attacks. WTF! A 15 minute sick visit becomes a 25-30 minute visit. Ms. Panic Attack just screwed all the morning patients after her.
We ask you arrive 15 minutes early (especially important for the first morning and first afternoon appointments) so the front desk folks can check you in and we can get your vitals, review chief complaint, allergies, medications, history etc. If the first appointments arrive late, it snowballs from there. Just get there early and pass the time on the OT like I do when I'm in a waiting room.
I hate waiting to see my doctor too. I just assume I'll be there an hour and a half. Good medical care is worth the wait. If you always walk into an empty waiting room, there may be a reason.
Way more bitching than I intended.

Correct! This is the problem the rest of these idiots don't understand. We try to make appointments that are set for a time the patient should be in the office. The problems arise when we have a patient coming in for "x" reason and then want to act like we are the GP and start listing every problem they have or think they may have. Lien one poster said , we are a "service" profession so we have to be nice and listen and not be rude to folks. It would be nice if we could take care of the problem that set the appointment for and once that is taken care of and they start in on all their other problems we could tell , get the frick out! We can't do that. You wanna complain? Complain to all the other people in the waiting room! Let them know that they need to allow the Dr to take care of the issue they called about and then get out because others want to be seen promptly. It's not the Drs or the other healthcare professionals in the office that cause the delay , it's the dumb fricking patients. Every single time. Y'all do realize that the more patients we see in a day , the quicker we move them in and move them out , the more money we make per day, right? Get fricked if you're one of those patients trying to add on problems while at an appointment for a sore fricking throat!! Seriously , GET frickED!

Sorry, but I will continue to claim an allergy to Codiene. It makes me vomit so forcefully that I can feel my brain slamming against my skull. Get over it!!!

Why don't you factor this in to the appointment?
