My Trip to the GYN Today. (Female doc last name begins with H)

I had an appointment for Noon and because it was the first time seeing this doctor, I arrived at 11:30 to fill out paperwork, which was completed by 11:40.

At Noon, the receptionist said to me: “Mrs. Salpal, why don’t you go get some lunch and come back around 1 pm.

Me: What? My appointment is at Noon.

Rec: Well, the doctor just left for lunch and she will not be back till around 1 pm.

Me: Are you serious? I have a Noon appointment and she left for lunch knowing that a patient was here?

Rec: Yes, I am sorry, but she got backed up all morning.

Me: Why didn’t she wait to go to lunch till after she saw me?

Rec: Because she has a completely booked afternoon.

Needless to say, I informed the Receptionist that I knew it was not her fault, but that this was unprofessional and unacceptable and I left. So, am I to assume that it is assumed that because most people in The Villages are retired, their time is of no value???
