If your wife has a new nurse or receptionist?....schedule accordingly. If your wife has to see drug reps?....schedule accordingly.
Sorry, but your post did nothing to help me be more understanding for a doctor's plight. Quit trying to jam so many patients into a work day and the wait times will decrease. IMO, training nurses, dealing with drug reps, tardy patients, heavy paperwork loads, and insurance regulations are all things that a doctor should know and come to expect. It comes with the territory. I'm not saying every doctor is the same but many with their own practices work very limited schedules. I've known some who work 1 day a week. Others I've know may work 4 days a week. How about a 6 day work week like so many people do when they need to get caught up on their work load? How about playing that round of golf some other day Doc?
From the sound of your post, it would seem she (but maybe more likely you) is not happy with her career choice. Maybe a change is in order. English teacher perhaps?
I think it's ridiculous that a doctor can charge you a fee if you cancel within 24 hours but when they cancel with the same short notice it's OK. Be late for an appointment and they charge you a fee but god forbid they see you in a timely manner. How is that "caring about you"???
I think I will start sending a bill to my doctor for my time. I'll charge a fee if they cancel within 24 hours and I'll charge them an hourly rate for every minute PAST my appointment time that they make me wait. Of course, on every invoice I'll have to add a processing fee, fuel surcharge, mileage fee, misc supplies fee, postage fee, etc, etc, etc....
