Arrogant Doctors

...and they'll charge you if you're late or have to cancel on short notice, even though they've overbooked.

My last doctor had a sign on the wall that said "Please let us know if you've been waiting longer than 30 minutes past your appointment time".

If you did, they just said "we're running behind".

DUH
Couple of our docs have the same sign. And when someone mentions they have been waiting for 45 minutes the receptionist just shrugs her shoulders.

I must admit, our GP is fantastic. We rarely wait more than 15 minutes.
Prior to the scamdemic....damn it I mean pandemic our GP was like yours. Hell, many times I had an 11a.m. appointment and got there at 10:30. They take the appointments as they show up, as long as it does not hang anyone up. My appointments are normally about 3 minutes long...nurse takes my vitals..minute or 2 later doc walks in and asks "the usual" and walks off. Unless he is slow and then he likes to sit and chat with us.

heaven forbid you are late they cancel your appointment...
Yeah....ain't that great? I had an appointment to see a new doc. It was 20* and snowing so we left an hour early. Everything for us is at least a 35 mile drive, this doc was about 40 miles. We got hung up at an accident about 3 blocks from them. We parked the truck in the nearest parking lot and walked. Appointment was at 11:45...we walked in at 11:48. Cancelled. I refused to pay their stupid fee....they sent me to collections....
