When the doctor is late I tell them they missed their appointment time and will need to reschedule, then I enjoy the time I took off work for an appointment. It doesn’t happen often, but if it hits 10 minutes past when they should be seeing me, I assume they overbooked themselves and won’t be giving me the attention I’m paying them for; we can reschedule.
Every fucking doctors office: if you’re late by 5 minutes you’ll have to reschedule and we’ll fine you $40.
Also every fucking doctors office: the doctor’s running late, you’ll have to wait another 30 minutes lol
If they charge you for your being late, they should have to pay you when they’re late. Or at least waive the copay.

That’s not how cartels work.
