GPs can lick my balls

[Crasherfromwayback]

I think it's their underlying GOD complex / arrogance that they don't need to care about customer service.

Think you need to get yourself a decent Dr Paul. Mine is awesome. Very straight up, very patient and mega good. The one I have at home is fucking good too.

PHO's and having 'closed' registers doesn't leave any room for 'customer choice' unfirtunately.

Once in a while is fine, but every fucking time... a coconut.

Theres your problem....island time bro...

Last time I went to the doctors for something other than the medical certificate that did me no fucking help at all, I was 7 with chickenpox.
It probably wasn't the 2 week wait it felt like, but every single time I had to trail my mum into the docs I had to sit and wait forever. Quite a few times my mum had gone back home because 'fuck waiting for this'.

And the time I had to wait from 7pm till 4am for stitches in my foot... (Partially severed tendons, towels and towels worth of blood and permanent nerve damage).

I can see how the doc should devote every single working minute and more to patients, but if it's every fucking time then they should learn to fucking buffer that shit, seriously. The guy that sewed up my foot had finished his shift 4 hours ago, so that's one absolutely fantastic doctor out of 10-20 pissfart ones.

Dentists piss me off in this regard - they'll bill you for missing an appointment and wasting their time, but quite happily make you sit in the waiting room for 30 minutes when you do turn up.

A work colleague sent a bill for waiting time to his dentist, after receiving a bill for an earlier missed appointment. After some "robust" discussions about the matter, they both agreed to waive the charges...

[James Deuce]

that is fucking bullshit most doctors get into medicine because they do care

Hahahahahahahaha. Funniest thing I've seen in months.

[rachprice]

But in that case shouldn't they leave enough contingency time in between appointments to cover those everyday occurrences?

More time means less patients in a day, people bitch enough as it is because you often can't get in for days. Especially in small centers that have a shortage of gp's

Hahahahahahahaha. Funniest thing I've seen in months.

dude if that's your attitude, I really pity you


I guess people are allowed to vent and have a bitch but if you think you could do better then go ahead and become a gp, I swear you lot think all they do is faff all day doing nothing, which couldn't be further from the truth.

If you sat in with one for a day you would probably change your mind

[rachprice]

Or if they reuse the glove


That's it, we're not customers despite paying $150/hr.

The guys in my team deal with interuptions and emergencies constantly but god help them if they're late for a customer meeting. But we factor these interuptions into our scheduling and resourcing so we can manage it most times - like just about every company outside health has to do these days.

And comparing medicine to business??

They aren't customers they are patients

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hahahahahahahaha. Funniest thing I've seen in months.

I'm sure you'll find it ain't for the money. I know people who work with computers that get paid more than doctors, do far less time, and don't have to deal with arseholes.

Literal assholes as well as the other kind

And then you have the poor old Dr that had our mate Pas insist he check his prostate...at age 30. Every week.

After finally finding a great GP, she had a breakdown from the job being so stressful. I have much respect for Drs with the 6 years of uni/training and huge student loans only to graduate and do 90 hour weeks in horrible hospitals. Unfortunately, there are some GP's that do give the rest a bad name by constantly running late and/or arbitrarily prescribing Augmentin.
Usarka, you could always try to find a GP that runs on time. Ask around, there's bound to be one somewhere.

Nope. It's getting funnier too.

[The Everlasting]

Yeah it sure sucks,you rush to make sure your not late for your appointment,and then you end up waiting half an hour,that will piss most people off.

Not just because your wasting time to wait,but also I don't want to wait in a room full of sick people any longer than necessary.

Stop it, I'll pop a hernia and have to go and visit one of the thieving bastards.
