If he can't be on time for his morning appointments (that were scheduled a long time ago) then he has no business doing house calls at 3AM, no ?
I would assume any doctor doing 3am house calls would be on a emergency basis. Do doctors even do house calls anymore?

People that act like sheep when it comes to Dr offices.

Our family Dr's office is very close to both my home and my office. I've recently got tough with them and told them to call me when they have a room ready. I tell them that if I have to wait in the waiting/reception area more than 3 minutes I won't pay for the visit. You'll be surprised how they comply!

Not sure if we go to the same office, but if it is, their pediatric office on EP will make no such accommodations. It's not always about behaving like a sheep, even a lion can't break through a brick wall.

Maybe he was up to 3am that morning making house calls?
No problem, understood. But then don't come in singing good morning, come in with an apology and get right to work.

I'm talking about my own appointments at the adult office on Kingston.

Who created that brick wall? Does anyone ever challenge their practices, or do people just accept anything when it comes from the Dr's office? Luckily there are some alternatives. If I can get away with just seeing a nurse practitioner, I go to one with no waiting, much lower charges, and mentschlech treatment!

The opening of urgent care centers did create some competition, with morning no-appointment walk-ins at the EP pediatric office.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The sheer number of patients is the brick wall.

It's a vicious cycle: patients often come late or cancel so doctors overbook to compensate; patients who come on time get frustrated and start coming late, etc.
If you don't care why would you comment?

So what we need is one patient to be dragged out & break a few teeth & change will finally come.

Lack of respect for peoples' time is the brick wall.
The brick wall (if one exists) is the lack of client/provider relationship.

The "providers" don't see the patients as their clients, as it is not they that pay, but rather the insurance companies (mostly medicaid and medicare).

The patients on their side, don't feel that they're entitled to much, as they aren't the ones paying, and don't feel like they are in any position to bargain about the service or the price.

Do you really think this situation would go on if each and every person coming for service would have to write a check for it?

The bathroom door locks that you have to push in that little button, and it's sometimes nearly impossible to determine whether or not it's locked!

People that underestimate the value of restrooms. Did you ever see a dedication on a shul or yeshiva restroom?

The slow chazon at the fast minyan (I'm 2/2 on that for shachris so far).

The bathroom doors that lock with just pushing in a button (I always feel like it isn't actually locked, and I can't check if it is!)
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.
