@thefamouspaige1: I know I’m not the only one…I show up 10-15 minutes early to my appointments because that’s what they ask, and I swear every time I’m just sitting in the waiting room for at least a half hour 🤪 #dr #patience #waitingroom #early #why

Because they believe their time is worth more than yours.

Because someone with an earlier appointment showed up 10 minutes late. Probably.

And why do I have to answer questions on the paper they give me just to answer the same ones when the nurse comes in?

From a NP for 25 years here: because administration has us booking so many patients in a day; and it just takes 1 or 2 to put us far behind, typically because they need that extra time. Not having a tea party or social time as previously suggested.

That's an easy one to answer. It's because most people have no personal integrity and show up whenever the hell they want to. So people with integrity and personal responsibility have to eat it.

Please we are physician’s and we spend extra time with patients that might need a little extra time . Example: the loss of a pregnancy, cancer diagnosis, to order additional testing .. we will give you the same time 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s because other people show up late, and demand to still be seen. It’s a domino affect, one person is late, and it makes the rest of the appts late.

I once was the parent who received devastating news of my child’s condition. You never know what is happening next door. I have no problems waiting knowing there may be someone going through what I did.

because they don't respect your time, but you're supposed to respect theirs.

Clearly you know NOTHING about how outpatient medicine works and what doctors do behind closed door. They answer 10 phone calls from patients, their families, hospitals, etc.,. Have your nails done ON TIME INSTEAD. And do not insult your own intelligence.

Why do I have to fill out the same paperwork EVERY SINGLE TIME! Do you lose my id and insurance that hasn’t changed in the few months we haven’t seen each other. It’s crazy.

Nothing says you cannot go back to the desk to reschedule for a different date.

So you can wait longer before you continue your wait in your paper gown in the freezing patients room

because dr appointments are NOT an exact time. Appointments dont all take the same amount of time. Why dont people know this???
