Default Doctor's office "waiting"?

It seems on almost any thread having to do with rating or recommending doctors there is almost always several post about the waiting time.

Doesn't waiting to see the doctor go with having an appointment?
Some are close....few are right on the time.....and some are 20 + minutes.

Are there no waiting for the doctor where some of these folks come from?

Does waiting one appointment day have anything to do with the next day or the next, etc?

I look at it this way; if it is a good doctor that puts me first, takes his time, asnwers all my questions, focuses on me....then it is safe to assume he/she does the same with all patients. Hence the schedule may suffer some.

There is nothing I hate more than a doctor who is on a drum beat to get you out ASAP so he can get on to the next patient.

No Thanx. I will settle for the wait to get to my turn.

I am retired and am in no particular hurry to HAVE to be anywhere.

There. Now I can make the rest of the day!
