Jeez dude, it probably isn't like the doctor was slacking off and just waiting to keep you waiting. Most likely there were more people who needed help that day and they ran long. Most likely everyone is working as hard as they can to offer everybody the assistance they need. Making a stink about that is just selfish and a dick move to the people that work hard to help you.

That’s all well and good, until one of us has other things that run late and they charge us a $200 fee. Everybody has busy days and meetings that run late, including their patients. And some doctors offices are great at adjusting. Its the double standard that’s the issue.

Professionals need to hone their processes and understand how to hit their commitments. If they can't hit their commitments, they need to commit to different things. If you are always seeing people an hour late you need to change the way you schedule.
