Also, it’s a bit of a tradeoff. If the doc cares about the patients, some will naturally take longer than others. The only way to stay on time would be to schedule a lot of buffer. Which would be fine if they could do that and still make a decent living. But even universal healthcare places are always trying to squeeze on paying doctors. So it’s hard to get both on time, and enough time to really get the most out of the appointment.
Of course this post is about the clinics that are being bought up by corporations in the US and being enshitified to maximize shareholder value. So yeah, American shit for sure.
Yeah this is probably some American shit. If I have appointment at 08:00, and doctor takes me in at 08:01, they’ll apologize for being late
Which country?

In 3 countries I’ve lived in this is a thing. Some doctors more than others.
