Below you will find an invoice for today's services. My son had an appointment today at 10:30am. We arrived at 10:00am and although I realize this is early it was my hope that since the visit was a follow up we could get in and out rather quickly. However, when your 10am patient was not called until 10:45am. that clearly says that you are running 45 minutes (minimum) behind. Regardless of whether I showed up at exactly 10:30am and if my calculations are correct that would mean that I could have possibly not gone into another waiting room to wait for you even longer for another 15 minutes. I at least gave you until 11am before I decided to leave. I thought this was rather kind of me. First, I allowed the rest of your waiting room patients not to have to endure my very hungry, tired, bouncing off the walls, and at times screaming children. I saved you money by not entertaining them with your hand sanitizer. Please understand that because of your tardiness regardless of the reason I have lost time, gas, preschool time that I already paid for and mileage on my vehicle. My baby also experienced pain and suffering by not being allowed to get her regularly scheduled lunch and nap time. The fees incurred are based on current numbers of mileage reimbursement and calculations of stay at home mothers if they were paid a wage. My current salary would be $181,273.

Haha you sound like my hubby! I love it! Visiting from NightOwlMama's Content for Comments!
YES YES I think we too have the same Doctor as you do. And what's so fun is that sometimes they don't show up at all cause some one needed an emergency surgery and doc just won't be making in to see patients and I was the next phone call on the list but HOW DARE I leave early thinking I can get in early.
If the billing process can only work that way it may even out in the insurance process.
Genius! Absolute genius! This could be sent to every single doctor I have ever had to visit!
If I get to see the doctor at my pediatrician within 30 minutes of my appointment I think they are doing good. But that's just what I have begun to expect so I don't get disappointed.
