I usually don't get all that pissy about doctors running late. However, there was one time I was really irritated.
I took my wife to the doctor for an appointment. She got the first appointment of the day. We were there 45 minutes early. We waited more than 30 minutes past when the appointment was supposed to start. While we were waiting there, the doctor came in through the waiting room.
It's one thing to be running late because of the normal day to day delays that happen in a medical practice, but if you're actually just running late getting to work, you should call and have your staff let the patients know.
I had an appointment booked at my GO. Get there 10 mins early. Everything’s normal, one other person in the waiting room.
Other person gets called in. Still normal.
Receptionist walks through the waiting room, locks the front door, then shuts the shutter to the reception desk. “Uh what”
20mins pass, haven’t seen another soul. Not tooo unusual to wait 20mins.
40mins, sunk cost fallacy sets in. Can’t leave anyway as the front door is locked.
50 mins later, receptionist comes in “the doctor will see you now, sorry for the wait we had our weekly staff meeting”
You fucking what. You booked me in at the time you have your fucking weekly staff meeting?!
Holy shit that's bad!
