Am i too impatient?

[Givechance]

I would be mad and pissed if my 8pm appointment is delayed.

But sad to say...dentist job is really very time consuming.....difficult to allocate timing per patients.

Yes this is the best quote.....nobody can tell if he or she goes to bed tonight....can wait up tomorrow or not.

i just got the feeling of:

 

My time very expensive,

thus please come on time. (thats y she called me 3 times to confirm the appt)

 

Your time is very cheap,

if dentist takes his time, earlier patient late, walk in regular jumped queue, you've got to LLST.

 

 

tats y i was quite pissed off.

[Tarzan666]

Nvr ask the guy in front of u wat time was his appointment?

Maybe is 6pm...

usually missed by one or two persons is ok. but maybe those before you had earlier appts but didnt make it.... so many possibilities. just leave with it lah.

 

sure, if it is too long, then start screaming...

to cut a long story short,

 

i had a dental appointment at this neighbourhood dental clinic.

1 dentist, 1 nurse, 1 recept auntie.

 

auntie called me 3 times on the actual day to remind me that my appointment is at 8pm.

I told her i will be there before 8.

 

reached there 7:55pm.

one guy seated,

one guy trying to register (i think. saw him taking out IC)

so i just told the auntie my name and said :" Mr XXX, 8pm slot appointment"

 

then sit down wait lo.

one more guy came in.

so there is a total of 4 customer waiting.

 

8:10pm, the dentist door opened, the patient inside came out, she called 1 guy in.

of cos at this moment, i was damn pissed already.

so i raised my voice slight :" how is the order of the queue going to be like?"

 

she hesitantly said:" after this guy and this guy then you"

 

 

i super angry already...." you could have told me when i stepped in right ? or call my hp earlier to ask me to come later"

and i walked out of the clinic.

 

am i too impatient?

No. You are fine.

 

Doctor... they very atas. People have to wait for them. They don't wait. And, they usually do double book.

But for dentist, usually is quite punctual as customer has a fixed time to attend to.

Exceptional case is when the previous customer is late... by over 15 mins.

 

A good dentist will politely tell the customer who is late to come back on another day, unless there is no more customers.

 

For your case, I guess, the 2 customers might be new walk-in and the dentist did not want to lose the new customers.

overbooking quite common la. if liddat angry liao, better dun go to our public hospitals. can wait until ailment cure by itself b4 ur number gets called.....

 

 

I thk TS is pissed that there's double standard in place...imagined if we were late for appt, we will be pushed to the last in line....so how come there's no penalty for doctors/dentists who keep the patient waiting for more than 2-3 patients?

can be excuse... can be true.

i think the auntie clerk made the decision.

thus my attitude was directed at her only.
