Doctor Rant

Went to the Dr, yeasterday. Apointement time was 10:45. I arrived prior to 10:30, and signed in. A few minutes later I was given a cup for a sample, and then put in an exam room, where the PA took my blood pressure, and asked my hight and weight. At 11:05 I left the room,went to the desk, told the women at the desk I was leaving, and to reschedule, when they could see me close to the appointment time. Why can't doctors have some consideration for their patients? My time is just as valuable to me, as the doctors is to him. If they get backed up, at least have the curtisey to inform the patient, and give the option as whether to wait, leave and come back later, or reschedule. I have done this to several doctors, and now if I need to wait, they at least let me know. I wish more people would do this, and maybe the Dr's would not be so inconsiderate.

I've made it a practice to tell the nursing staff AND the doctor on my first visit that my time is as valuable as theirs, I can give then 20 minutes of wait time and then the clock starts ticking I wait after that at 40.00 per 15 minutes (similar to a plumbers rate and bill(round up to the next fifteen if it's a second over) I've had one doctor test me and I billed him 120.00 for the wait time(net 30) after 30 day of non payment I sent it to a bill collector with a 90.00 late fee attached. didn't get a response after 30 more and sent it and another 90.00 late fee to the lawyers and then it got paid 300.00 plus lawyer fee.
needless to say I didn't use that doctor again but the word did get out that I was not wasting my time because they over book their selves.
was it wrong to do that, I don't know but if it happens again I'll do the same thing. they charge for a missed or late doctors appointment so I'm charging for a late doctors appointment also!
