Waiting.
Can anybody tell me what the point of getting an "appointment" with a
doctor is? Generally speaking, when one has an appointment, it means
that a meeting will occur at a specific date and time, with a specific
individual. Not so in the medical world. I've been waiting for 45
minutes at the doctor's office today. That means that not only am I
paying to see the doctor, I'm also losing time that I could be
spending at work, making money. How dare they assume that my time has
no value.

If you're a doctor, take this small piece of advice: schedule your
patients for the time they'll actually get to see you. In the end,
you're still going to see the same number of patients... They'll just
be less angry.
