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.
It’s the for-profit American health system
that’s why 2/3 of the population has no GP and is just using urgent care. No appt, cheaper to the insurance, they still see you faster than the actual appointment
Cheaper to the insurance in the short term. More expensive for everyone in the long term since nobody bothers with preventative care anymore.
also good point
