Isn't it usually the doctor who is 30 minutes behind?
Just my experience. I rarely--RARELY--get "right in" when I show up on time to a doctor appt.

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?

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

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

You know, no one makes customers wait longer than doctors

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

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

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.

Could you assess late fees to individuals like this?
