Yeah for sure. The clinic staff can make a huge difference and it's not always the physicians administrative responsibility to ensure that the clinic runs on time. They can influence that, but do you know how challenging it can be to replace physician assistants and/or nurses? They're in very high demand.

Agree with a previous comment that some docs have a god complex and don't care about other people's time.

Overall it would be great if the world aligned with the time slots I have scheduled for activities and appointments, but it's not always as easy as it appears in semi-complex environments.
