Mrich1, the number of staff members at Mayo doesn't matter when it comes to the overbooking of a specific Dr. The fact is the orthopedic guy I saw on several occasions wasn't overbooked and saw me on time. This was not true at two sports medicine practices I tried first. That was my only point. Also, I didn't say airlines and hotels don't overbook. I only stated that airline overbookings are not nearly as common as in the past. When I traveled frequently, I only saw a hotel overbooking once in 20 years. I believe over 2 million miles on airlines makes me some what qualified to comment on this.

I spent 11 years as a Revenue Management Analyst at Disney....hotels and airlines ALWAYS overbook at least by the percentage of their historical no show factor.....always have, always will......
