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.
yes. insurance companies in particular are too much for independent doctors to negotiate with. they would rather pay $100 for a shitty appointment where nothing is solved than $200 where something is actually done about the problem (such as treatments or tests, which they would also probably have to pay for).
