Comments on: Is It “Indifference” or Inefficiency? http://www.eastwestconverge.com/daily-muse/is-it-indifference-or-inefficency/ Which Side Are You On?

Last year, after 2 hours, of waiting to see the doctor for my annual check up, I asked the receptionist to give me back my $15 co-pay and then left. I had watched the room empty twice and had been told I was second or next an hour earlier. Of course, I was only hurting me by not getting the check up. But, I too, felt that they had no respect for my time, nor appreicated me as a client. This year it was quite fast. But the norm is a long, frustrating wait. Let's hire those effeciency experts. I'll volunteer! After a similar but even worse experience (4 hours!), with my first visit to an optometirst two years ago, I elected to never go back and found a new, much more effecient one. Perhaps one just needs to shop around for the 'best deal.' Amen to indifference and inefficiency.
