Me: 30 minutes past my appointment (after arriving 20 minutes early) watching people walk in then get called back within 3 minutes. Fuck doctors offices so much.

Update: Nurse took me to the room. Answered prelim questions then she left. Still waiting for the doctor 20 minutes later. It is now 40 minutes past my appointment time and no sign of the person taking my money.

    They are optimizing for Doctor’s time, not yours. He is the one being paid to be there. Your wait is free.

      My wait is not free, if I’m not at work I’m losing money, I’m not taking care of things at home, I’m not doing who knows what else I could be doing. The wasting of my time is not free.

      If anything, MY time should be prioritized because I’m the one PAYING to be here.
