Eynsham Red Aug 2022 3:54pm, 6 Aug 2022 8,893 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I frequently book the first appointment of the day with my Dentist, but have never been seen on time. Delays can be expected to develop during the day but if you don’t start on time there is absolutely no chance that later appointments can be on time.
Velociraptor Aug 2022 4:19pm, 6 Aug 2022 59,185 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I used to work with a GP who often arrived late (and always blamed the school run and the traffic instead of herself for not taking into account the fact that the school run takes a finite amount of time and there's always traffic) and then messed around so that her 9am patient would still be waiting at 10am. I'd gladly have throttled her with my own hands.
