    Doctor turning patient away for being 10 minutes late to appointment. Awesome. Health "we don't" Care. No wonder patient engagement is low

        @avantgame I see both sides, sucks for patients who are slightly late but if schedule is off med staff have to stay later.

        @AshSogla I know... But I can't remember the last time a doctor didn't have me wait more than 10 minutes past appt time so it feels unfair

        @avantgame Frustrating. I ended up waiting 1.5 hrs to see Doc for checking in 5 mins late after standing in the reception line for 10 mins.

        @avantgame I usually try to squeeze late patients in, but not always possible. Ripple effect on other patients and clinic staff.

        @apere006 @avantgame not always but I try. Difficulty is in predicting how long each patient will take. Some pts need longer than scheduled

        @avantgame my last job at a large healthcare org it was the opposite. We couldn't cancel apts even if the pt was 40 min late for a 50min apt

        @avantgame I understand your frustration. The fee for service payment structure and broken culture is to blame. Check out @iorahealth

        @avantgame regularly shocked at "professional service" in medicine vs. law. My clients would fire me if I did many things DRs regularly do.
