That will be a short wait time if we get Medicare for All.

Your doctor likely has no idea you wait that long. Tell him. I changed doctors one time and mine sat by me at LSU games. I told him why I left and he ended up getting rid of people over it. He had no idea what was going on. There are plenty of doctors out there. Find one with posted wait times.

Find a doctor that will actually show up on time, see an appropriate amount of patients, and realizes that your time is valuable and not to waste it. If you make an appointment, they should make it too.

Yeah well that’s finally done.

I am apparently part alien or something, monster size green eyeballs, (two retina detachments is far) multiple rows of giant teeth, rare blood type with 100x of times level of iron, etc of normal person, blood pressure I can regulate at will, never had normal liver function test in my life, super high arch aka runners feet, etc ( can do all kinds of mental things normal people can’t do etc. which was fun growing up as they tested me for dyslexia etc) So my regular doctors are all specialist now, and I am just screwed. We have too many lawyers and not enough doctors

Doctors will buy a ticket for something that is standing room only and expect for someone in a reserved section to let them sit in their seats.

Doctors are one of the few professions where they still bill you when they can't help you out. It is like hey man you should go see a specialist, but before that you have to pay me so I can refer you otherwise they won't see you. That's after they run a bunch of BS tests that the specialist is gonna run them again.

There has to be a better way. Doctors office waiting times are ridiculous. I love when they trick you and move you to an exam room then you wait another 45 minutes staring at pain smiley pictures.


You see, you're thinking about this all wrong. That's not 45 minutes of your day wasted. That's 45 minutes you can be practicing to properly make the 7-8 out of 10 face so the doctor writes the good prescriptions. You don't want to go too far and make the 9 or 10 out of 10 face, though, because you're just gonna get sent to the hospital.

I blame trying to see 40-60 patients a day
Wrong. It could be 2 patients only a day. If you are second in line and the first guy has some major issue going on that requires an inordinate amount of time then you aren't getting in at your scheduled time. And yes, I agree, the more people there are scheduled in a day the further this back log can get.
