Could you assess late fees to individuals like this?

It seems like this guy needs to see some consequences for his actions before change occurs. Obviously social norms aren't doing it for him.

So you're never running late with appointments? Because I bet your office does often.

Missed the part about patient taking phone calls and all sorts of interruptions?

Doctors do that, too

I've never had a doctor take another call during my appointment. I can't answer

I haven't either, I have seen co workers do it and it is surprising

This is true. I am accustomed to medical offices being late. I am fine with it

Nope. See everyone within 10 min of scheduled appt time (if they are ready)

What state are you in? it might be faster to travel there then see a doc here.

So if you are only 10 minutes late, you don't count that as being late?

It's in our culture to be late. Respect your heritage

we try and avoid this. Makes patients mad every single time and it is NEVER

That sounds like my trip to the doctor's

Pangare

Isn't it usually the doctor who is 30 minutes behind?

And many times it is because of the patient he just described.

You know, no one makes customers wait longer than doctors

2FarGone

11/23/21 4:56pm

You’ve never had to call a customer service line? I hear the airlines make you wait for hours.

KingDave

11/23/21 5:07pm

You haven't had to wait for hours in a doctor's office?

2FarGone

11/23/21 5:09pm

No. Never. Seriously, hours? I don’t have time for that unless I’m in the ER.

Sorry, but oh well. I almost always see the doctor an hour after my appointment.
