Mine doesn't do that. Not my general anyway. Walk in, walk back, be seen, leave. No wait.

I've walked out of a whole bunch of appointments over the years. A few have stopped me at the door and asked politely to return and I was seen pretty fast after.

A few never even asked what happened to me. Never saw me leave.

One (dentist) was late and expected me to wait 1.5 hours for her to get to me. Then called me to chew on me for leaving, and I lit her up. Then left an honest but blazingly negative review. Arrogant was what she was.

Then there was the doc in the box about a decade back. Took me to a room that afternoon. I was bad sick and fell asleep. Woke up, checked the time and it was 10 minutes after closing time.

They'd locked the doors and the last person was shutting off the lights, getting ready to leave out the back. When they walked past me standing in the room door. Scared the piss out of them. They escorted me out the front and asked me to return when they opened. It was an office worker, not a medical person. They didn't even have the courtesy to call me until three days later.

Our medical system is severely broken. If I make an appointment, I don't expect to wait more than 15 minutes, ever. That's the point of an appointment.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
