What does the physician do when a patient is waiting for him in a consultation room?

2009-03-06 10:39 pm
I think most patients have such experience of long waiting (often more than 45 minutes) in a consultation room after the nurse completed blood pressure taking, screening and other procedures. During that time, what does the physician do in the other room?

He doesn't book multiple patients for one time slot..that's absurd. He books patients in 15-20 minute slots, but often one or two patients take a little longer and suddenly he's running behind. Add a toilet break or a cup of tea and there's more delay. But he may get a couple of cancellations so by the end of the day he may "break even" time-wise. It just depends on what time of day your appointment is, and your luck, really! Also, he may be reading your chart (doctors know absolutely nothing about their patients until they read the chart), or reading up on your condition (if you have one) to freshen his mind a bit...

Let;s start with you, when you called to make your appt, with this dr about 7 or so others called and they booked you all at the same time. Yep, that is how he gets $$, because if one cancels then he wants to have a patient, $$ for that exact time.

He is attending to other patients. It is difficult for him to calculate how long he will be in each room because he doesn't know the patient's symptoms or situation when he goes in the room. So, be a good patient and be patient. When it's your turn the doctor will give you all of his attention just like he did the others.

That's a great question! I think the physician is with another patient, looking over charts, or going to the potty. ha ha They usually schedule multiple patients for an appt. at the SAME time. I hate that!
