Amy Dunbar: Tardiness-Hating OB/GYN Now Most Reviled St. Louisan on Facebook

9. Are you as keen in reverse? Doctors often sure as fuck aren't. Dentists even worse.

I cannot count the times I have waited ridiculous periods after the appointed times to see both. And no they can't hide behind the heroic-lifesaving-emergency excuse. I'm not talking about critical care here. Some are just dicks who think their specific advanced degree gives them carte blanche to piss on the schedule of my own and keep me waiting for hours because they schedule three patients in the time it takes to deal with one. I have a twenty minute and walk out rule. They can lose the fucking revenue if they think it's more important to pad it than to respect my time as I respect theirs. You have to value a patient's schedule to expect them to value yours. I wonder if Dunbar does.
