Doctor’s appointment scheduled at 9:00am, still waiting almost an hour later

[u/transfatpikachu]

I have a lot of doctor’s appointments, and I know how busy and hard these people work. I’m not mad at them and I’d never be rude. I know it’s not on purpose. Nevertheless, it’s still a bit infuriating to make time for a scheduled appointment, arrive 15 minutes early (required), and then wait this long with not even an acknowledgment of the delay from anyone. Sigh. 9:55 now, still waiting.

Edit: I really appreciate all the comments! The doctor ended up coming in shortly after 10. This was a specialist ortho appointment for my shoulder. Still no acknowledgement of the delay, which would’ve been nice, but I’m more annoyed that my concerns were pretty much brushed off again during the whole 3ish minutes he spent with me. I know waits can get long, I wouldn’t care as much if the doctor had at least seemed somewhat concerned with my issue. Sigh… gotta love American healthcare!

I wonder if someone wanted to make sure you were sober if it was a work injury

Yeah, Concentra needed to handle it, funny that it was a part of my life that I was still sober cause of my ex

If you weren't sober at work you should not get workers comp or compensation for your time.

You don't know what they do. They could be a professional weed tester, or part of a drunk ballerina attraction in an adults-only carnival

I mean, sure if you bend over backwards to find some silly niche thing for them to be doing, then sure fine.

If they're operating heavy machinery or a laborer of any kind, then I still stick to what I said.

How would smoking weed legally a week prior on vacation affect his work today? That’s the problem.
