Having physician relatives, I know it is possible that the dr. isn't fully aware of what Nurse Ratchet is doing in his name, being mean to patients. I would put in a call to the dr. and say I need the dr. to call me "at his convenience".

Surgeons do get called in to do emergency surgeries, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me in your case for Nurse Ratchet to have called you and the other patients on the schedule, to tell you the situation. I think some like to see a person squirm.

They also told me that I need to learn to be more courteous. BTW, the exact same thing happened the last time I had an appointment with this DR. Over 1 hour before he even came into the office. And, he didn't apologize for being so late either. This was, again, 9 a.m. So there is no reason for a backup at that hour.
