I had a scheduled appointment to see my oncologist today at 9am. I have to actually see him face to face so he can see how I'm reacting to the new meds and chemo and tell me how I should increase the doses. I also need prescriptions from him which require an in person visit.
I got there at 8:45 for a 9am appointment. I knew I wouldn't be seen at 9 because the guy is never on time, ever. I hoped that maybe I'd be seen my 9:30.
At 9:30 there was no sign of him. I asked the front office if they knew his ETA. They didn't. I went back to wait some more.
At 9:45, I asked again what his ETA was. I was told he was on his way but two other patients were ahead of me. At this point, I got really frustrated. Each and every time I make an appointment to see this guy, I end up waiting an hour or more. I feel my time is valuable and by making an appointment I have some sort of agreement or contract with the doctor that he will be available to see me at a reasonable time.
So, I left. I still have to actually see him, but dammit, I'm not going to have my time wasted either.
I think it's time for me to find a new oncologist. Seriously.
