Do doctors really want to appear busy or are
they really overworked ? There are a number of patients who suspect that some
doctors make them wait just for the heck of it. They complaint that doctor are over busy. Well, that’s one way of looking
at it! In actuality and from personal experience I must say that good doctors are
very much in demand, and can be overloaded by patients clamoring for their
personal attention - after all , who in
their right minds would want to go to a doctor who has a bad reputation!
Of course there may be some doctors who just want
to appear to be busy, to impress their patients - after all doctors are also
human, and as they say , “to each his own!”
While pretending to be busy may
help their reputation, if you only a few patients, then what’s the point of chasing
that patient away by making him wait needlessly ?
From personal experience , I must say that
good doctors usually become very busy quickly - and if a doctor is good , it’s
quite possible that there are a lot of patients who share that opinion. It
really doesn’t matter if a doctor has a lot of people waiting for him or not,
if he is really competent , patients will line up to see him. However, well
organized, efficient doctors will take the time and trouble to organize their
practice, to ensure their patients don’t have to wait too long !
