As many of you know I specialize in emergency medicine. Well today I am in one of our urgent cares. It just amazes me the unappreciative nature of some people.
Most of my patients are pleasant and understanding, but some people are just so unrealistic.
1. Other than the ER, there isnt another physicians office or urgent care open today for 50 miles.
2. The average wait in our office today is only about 1-1.5 hours. Your waiting because there are people that came in before you and are to be seen first. I am averaging about 4 patient per hour.
3. The average wait in the three ER's in my area is 4 hours (I checked).
4. Its Christmas eve, and a saturday. I dont want to be working today anymore than anyone else.
5. I am missing time with my family.
So all I ask is that people understand that the wait is not in my control and that I am working as fast as I can when no one else is.
Thanks for the rant.
