Iâm not complaining about immigration. Only idiots and assholes complain about that.
Doctors might schedule less patients per day and overall increase the number of patients seen overall. Itâs not like over scheduling doesnât have other effects besides being infuriating. It means they rush through the visit, ask few follow-up questions and decrease the chance Iâll have a solution in that one visit. I may have to come back again after the useless piece of non-applicable advice they gave me doesnât work.
I guess a lot of lemmings work in doctors offices or something. Itâs not an unfair ask at all to not routinely wait many minutes past your appointment time. Itâs very fair. Yet itt several users push back against this idea as though the waiting isnât anyoneâs fault. Yes, it is. And we deserve better.

Powerful lobbies are surpressing the number of doctors practicing in the US. If a foreign doctor wants to emigrate and practice here they cannot until they pass TOEFL (reasonable) AND finish US-based residencies, of which there are few. I know a Russian dermatologist who has been a receptionist for years because she cannot get ECFMG certification. Some states are wising up and waiving the residencies, but way more need to do it.
