The “hypocritical oaf”.

Social distancing! (Broken arms can be contagious.)

And don’t forget to lock up at night.

Can’t get to see a doctor these days.

I waited over three hrs to see a doctor, for my young daughter.

People who came after me came and went!

I finally went to the window, to discover the doc was talking to a drug rep, whooping it up!

I said, to the nurse, very loudly, I’ve been waiting and waiting…next time tell the doctor to see the drug rep on his own time!

The doctor apologized, looked at my daughter, and briskly sent us on our way.

At the RX, he had ordered a med that she was allergic to…Pharmacist had to call him for another med.

By then I was in a rage!

Needless to say, we switched Ins as soon as we were able.

“Naw, screw ‘em if they can’t take a joke.”

Actually had something close to this. Arrived on time and was given a form to update. Half an hour after the scheduled time, I asked how late the doctor was running. Receptionist said on time but you never gave us the clipboard back. Fine doctor but his staff was difficult very often. Had to fire them.

Give them an opportunity to share.

So true,

This actually happens all the time . It’s happened to me on several occasions. They don’t really want patients to leave because they might not come back. So hungry people wait while the doctor slips out the back for lunch. Be prepared.
