When he took so long to see us, we had just said to each >> other, "If he's not in here in like 5 minutes, we'll just leave...". > It's like if you're not on time for your appointment or something, you're > charged for it, but if it's on the other foot, we have to suffer. Like > being asked to come in early for work or working on a day off, but if > we're five minutes late we get written up. JK> Yeah :( I remember once last year this same thing happened and we DID JK> just walk out. The Doc called us all apologetic after we got home (So JK> sorry Mrs. Kracht ). JK> Total unconcern by the doc's office and the doc while we're there JK> though :( Sometimes there's good reason for the doc running late... My GI doctor (now retired) always ran late... but that was because he'd always take all the time needed to really talk with and examine his patients... one never felt like he didn't care... He was worth waiting the extra time for... JK> First, it's a trek for us to go from Ithaca to Binghamton (about an JK> hour)... and we have to make the appointments at a certain time of day JK> since Ron has to be back in time to give his 97 year old aunt her JK> diabetes shots and meds. We're it for her care, so it really gets us JK> upset when they do this kind of thing :( Have you looked for a doctor closer to home...? Seems an even bigger waste when one goes that far to not even be seen.... ttyl neb ....
