Based on what you just said happens in MI, it seems to be about the same everywhere. Which suggests it's a natural, unavoidable consequence of operating a private medical practice where unpredictable things happen to upset scheduling.
I think the only time it doesn't happen is when a doctor sets up a new practice and doesn't yet have a lot of patients. Or else a patient gets lucky and shows up on a day when nothing unusual happens to upset the doctor's schedule. So then the patient goes around telling others that his doctor doesn't overbook, when actually it was just the luck of the draw.
