Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on Originally posted by Socks Originally posted by Kido I did find it curious that once I was the doctors FIRST PATIENT OF THE DAY. And still waited 20 minutes past my appt. time... Maybe they just start the day off 30 minutes behind and that just trickles through the whole day.
Some people are late ALL THE TIME. I HATE being late. Seriously. Unless I got stuck in the OR or had some other disaster I am always on time probably 99% of the time. When my entire schedule shows up in the same 1 hour time block despite their appt time I can't recover from that because I can only see people one at a time. I think its rude to make the pts wait but that is just my opinion and I know many many doctors don't run that way. And ONE crazy person wil throw my whole day in the toilet The wife is not "late" per say, but sure loves pushing the limit... I tend to try and be a bit early to account for the unknown. It's a bad combination because whenever we have plans, I'm pacing and telling her to step it up or rushing through traffic or just stressing while she is perfectly calm. We almost ALWAYS get into a fight before vacations because I'm getting sick about getting to the airport while she is thinking "as long as we get their just before the door closes, that's good enough, right?". I try to ask her to try and be early not because we HAVE to be early, but just because it would be nice TO ME and my stress levels. I'm not talking 2 hrs before the flight leaves be at the airport. If I'm at the gate 10 minutes before we board, I'm good. Just not show up when they are announcing "final call" then hear "see, we still had two minutes to spare".... |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on People who think it's okay to make gratuitous negative comments about a woman's body, just because she's skinny. Shopping today and a total stranger asked my mother, who was browsing outside the fitting room, if I was anorexic. Ummm....no. Born skinny, skinny kid, skinny adult. Triathlon does not bulk me up, nor does living most of my adult life the the third world. And I'm 44, for goodness sake. If you want to make a comment about my body, you can make it to my face, lady. And then I can bench-press you and eject you from the store! I'm sure no one would think of asking a pudgy, middle-aged woman's MOM if her daughter was morbidly obese, or simply fat. |

Finally it was, wait until you have kids. Why are these people waiting for me to gain weight? Well I'm 41 and all of my nieces have now outgrown me by now. Maybe this is just my size! I don't hear that garbage anymore . |

Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on Here is mine for the day, people who drop their kids off 15 min early and then pick them up 15 min late for well... anything, but tonight it was religion class. I am a volunteer, not your personal babysitter. If I were your babysitter I would charge you for an extra 30 minutes! Or people who bring their kids to your Sunday school class and then tell you they are going shopping and they are not sure who will be there to pick the kid up. Again, free babysitting service. At least the pick up person was on time . Edited by trigal38 2013-12-18 8:51 PM |

I don't hear that garbage anymore . added to this the whole "real woman" concept...as in real women have curves, real women have fat on their bodies etc...Its driving me nuts...so because i'm relatively skinny and work out, i'm not a real woman... I also got called an inconsiderate because I said that ppl need to put up or shut when it comes to whining about body image/perception - but that's a story for another day people who back into parking spots, because it invariably takes them 5 tries to get it how they want it, while i'm waiting to back out so I can leave people who have to stand in line to order something and still don't know what they want when they get to the counter high-maintenance people at the grocery store/or other stores...be sure, the line I pick, the person is front of me is always goign to have some issue that requires a manager, multiple steps to fix etc |

Add yours on Originally posted by Kido We almost ALWAYS get into a fight before vacations because I'm getting sick about getting to the airport while she is thinking "as long as we get their just before the door closes, that's good enough, right?". That's a core principle of business travellers... if you aren't arriving at the gate right when they're closing the door, then you're just wasting time somewhere! Of course, this also conflicts with another core principle, which is "never check your carry-on". Which brings me to my own pet peeve... people who take forever to board a plane. Efficiency, people! Get your junk in the overhead bin, and clear the aisle. |

And for the record, I have never had a doctor that was on time.... EVER. To the point it really makes me mad that they just seem to cram in as many co pays for the day they can and let us all deal with it. And then of course they hurry you out the door. B.S.! |

Smartest thing I ever did was switching all of my health care to a women's health facility with no obstetricians. They have gynos and a internist and are always on time because they aren't busy with babies and on-calls and all that crap. I will gladly put up with the over-pink-ness of it for the convenience.
Sorry you can't do that though... |

New user 214 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on People who park so far from the car next to them that there is 3/4 of a space between them. Too small to park there, but too big to be an allowable gap - especially when the parking lot is "full" as a result. Passive-aggressive people. |

Champion 10018 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on People who realize they're about to miss their exit and careen across three lanes of highway traffic, including sometimes driving over the median, to get into the correct lane. Seriously, just go to the next exit! Last night I was in my commute coma, pulling off the freeway to connect with another highway, and see a car coming at my left side almost perpendicular because they had to wrench their wheel so hard to make the exit. Brilliant idea, but maybe look to see if anyone is there first! The frustrating part is the next exit was about 1/2 mile away, they could have easily done the clover leaf and been back on track. Gave me a heart attack. The other guy to my right, who also had to break hard, honked and tailgated the guy for a while. IT was great. |

Elite 6387 | Subject: RE: Things that are me off. Add yours on Had to go to the Doc today... I was walked back at the exact time of my appointment. I thought to myself how ironic that I just said I had never had one on time.... then I sat in the exam room for 20 minutes while my Doctor shot the breeze in the hall way. After the visit, he said wait and the nurse will be back to set up my appointment... 5 minutes later she came in and said I need to make an appointment and the front desk will be happy to do that. I love Doctors visits. |

Sorry you can't do that though... Well... it would take care of the sore nad problem. you are at the wrong doctor...............Try first appt of the morning or the afternoon. Also ask if the doc is on call that week or not because if they are that makes for potential delays. If its a surgeon you dont' want the appt first thing in the afternoon if they are doing sx in the am.......There are so many thing in my world that are 100% outside my control that effects my schedule. I dont' schedule surgery/office tight because i HATE being behind and late. If you are in private practice you often have to over book because when 20% of your schedule doesn't show up that is the difference between getting to pay yourself or not. You are screwed if everyone shows up. I had 40% of my schedule no show on monday. Right now I am employed so I don't have to worry as much about it but when I was in solo practice its a problem. Quite frankly I think docs give up sometimes. Its easy to beat down. Medicine is a thankless career and its going to get worse before it gets better. |
