You do know that doctors also hate and have no control over 99% of what you just griped about, right?

1) They hate paperwork, but it's either required by law or is there to protect them from lawsuits by scumbags.
2) Long waiting times are CAUSED by patients who come in and try to fix everything in one day OR come in with emergent symptoms
3) They rush you out to see more people because reimbursements are down and that's how they make money. Thankfully healthcare law is about to change. Smell ya later, Barry.

bullshite. Half the paperwork is redundant. About a quarter of it relates to you getting paid.

Back to what it was before which was just as bad if not worse. I have been more than happy with my doctors. My only hickup was when my long term doctor retired and sold out to Baylor. Baylor sux but I asked friends and found a new doctor I like. But.....Just this week, with our knight in shining armour about to take office, the insurance I have had for 6 years decided to cancel my policy. Thanks Trump.

It is a fact that doctors offices set appointments for times before the dr is even in the building. The theory is that you fill out paperwork and then the dr sees you right away, but in my experience it doesn't play out like that
