I just want to point out, this may not be the physician’s fault. A friend of mine, who is a primary care physician, just quit her job after the clinic changed its policy so that she had to fill her schedule with 10 minute appointments (6 per hour) and double book at least 10% (because the clinic was losing SO much money to no-shows /s). She burnt out after 6 months of this and moved somewhere they give her a more reasonable 15 minute time slots and no double-booking… All this is to say, it may be a doctor thing, but I would bet it’s more likely a clinic trying to squeeze as much money as possible, and the doctor getting none of the extra profit from it.
