- Ever noticed doctors have zero regard for the worth of anyone's time or schedules but their own? And they always expect complete acquiescence to their way of doing things, no matter how inconvenient for anyone else.
- Me:
- Hello?
- Office:
- Hi, I'm calling to confirm your 3:30 appointment with [doctor] on Monday.
- Me:
- Great, I'll be there.
- Office:
- We'd like for you to be here 15 minutes early.
- Me:
- Why? I thought the appointment was at 3:30.
- Office:
- Can you come at 3:15?
- Me:
- No, I have work. I get paid for being here those 15 minutes, and have it on people's calendars.
- Office:
- ... okay ... well ...
- Me:
- Is there a problem? I thought the appointment was for 3:30.
- Office:
- Well, we like for patients to come early.
- Me:
- Is it necessary? I've already filled out the paperwork.
- Office:
- No, I guess not.
- Me:
- Well, I'll see you at 3:30 then.
- Office:
- I guess we'll make it work.
- Me:
- Great. See you then.
