Dude it's just like earlier today I had to drive a family member in for a scope so he had to go under and so on. We get there at like 10:45, 15 minutes later Nurse comes out and says the doctor is running an hour behind to wait for a bit. 30 Minutes later hour and a half behind. 1 Hour after we got there doc finally shows. Mind you this is 15 minutes after they were already supposed to be going back for a 30 minute appointment. We ended up sitting there till about 2 when they finally called them back. An hour goes by nothing. Two hours go by and they finally come out and say we could leave so I had to sit there in that clinic for over 5 hours. Counting the drive over 6.
The best part the best part was when I was sitting there after they called them back this dude came in and he was like "Well I'm 20 minutes behind can I still get my appointment in?" and the nurse at the desk said "Normally sir we would have canceled you by now and told you get back on the waiting list but because the doctor is running behind THIS time we'll still let you do your appointment." I get you can't control what's going on around you but the fucking gall to bitch a guy out for running 20 minutes behind when you're 2 hours behind is just... god you're absolutely insufferable.
I had a doctor's appointment for 9am, I showed up 15-20 minutes early, talked to the nurse, sat down and puttered on my phone. At some point I realized it was 10:15 and wtf is the doctor?!?!
"Oh, he's running late but don't worry, there are only two patients ahead of you" The office opens at 8:30, how the hell are there two patients ahead of me? Also, where are they, since I was the only patient there.
About 11 I just said fuck it and left, if they can't be professional do I really trust them with my health?
