Wasted MY time?

[Sirrahsim]

I'm right there with you... It is SO annoying..
With the OB/GYN that I am seeing right now I have NEVER waited for less an hour past my appt time. Unfortunately he is the best surgeon in the area so I'm probably going to stick with him anyway since I'm probably having another c-section
I agree with buckner, if this doc is the best stick with her but if she isn't something special I'd say ditch her.

I HAVE walked out after waiting half an hour. A doc I didn't much care for, I had already started looking to find a replacement. As I recall, I didn't tell them when I left, either. snippy, eh?

I agree with the other comments, if you trust the doc, don't change. However, I would say let them know how upsetting it is. If you don't have a strong bond with the doc, find another.

To me, the only ones who should be allowed the leeway are the surgeons, coming in from surgery (usually it is the morning appts., not always, depends on the surgeon's schedule). Otherwise, I don't see more than 5 or 10 mintues as permissible, and they should APOLOGIZE for being behind schedule.

I've done the same thing. I had a 2:00 appt for an ultrasound/mammogram at 2:30 I got up and asked if I was there on the right day? After another 15 mns, I got up and asked again. By 3 pm the tech finally came out and took me in....busy day with a lot of add on's. I said "Boy it sure does not pay to have an appointment, I should have been an add on". That pi$$ed her right off. I didn't care. I had to leave work early and use vacation time for the appointment....my time is just as valuable...especially when I could have been using that vacation to sip a nice cold drink on the beach.

Laura...you were definately justified.
