At one point I setup an appt with a doctor, 3 weeks set date, and to be the first one in the morning, like 9AM, he cannot be late, right? I left at 11:30AM without seeing him.
Those are often the same people. I work exclusively in the OR, and we occasionally need to pull a doctor from their clinical hours to do an emergency surgery, which means some patient who’s expecting a clinical appointment just got fucked.
This comes down to staffing issues, but every hospital on the planet is apparently running a skeleton crew right now, so we work with what we got.

Jeez, how is that even possible? Like did some other asshole sneak in and get seen for some crazy disease somehow?
He is a surgeon and was in the hospital nearby, I guess saving life, so it’s ok :)
Ahhh that makes much more sense! I thought it was just a regular clinician type of doctor.

He was doing pre-rounds.
