Same! I’ve dealt with several major health issues and been burned so many times. I spent almost a full year bed ridden, waiting for a surgery that was deemed “elective” when I could barely walk, and was in 10/10 pain while on the max amount of pain killers, and fighting with insurance every step of the way to have them cover things my plan covered. All the while, bleeding thousands of dollars to get all kinds of tests done, sometimes multiple times for the same test, and at an already significant financial strain due to being mostly bedridden… Anyone that tells me the healthcare system in this country is OK gets a 20 minute lecture, minimum.
Anyways, I found a seemingly legitimate primary care physician the other day. He was available, on time, knowledgeable, his staff could answer questions, and knew how to read blood pressure correctly. I was astonished. I’m still waiting to find out how his office is too good to be true but, in the mean time… 🤞

I think what’s most infuriating is that they don’t even apologize for being late.

Right – or even acknowledge it. But if you are running late and even call to let them know you’re almost there, they’ll want to reschedule if it’s more than like 10 min late. I’ve always found that super annoying. I mean, I get it sort of. But motherfucker, you were almost certainly going to be later than I was anyhow!
