If it's an emergency, you should go to the emergency room. A general practitioner is not the place to go for gunshot wounds, cranial trauma, fractures, dismemberment, the plague, impalement, hypoxia, ect ect.

I've gone to the ER with a migraine that would not leave and I ran out of meds and the doctor would not call the pharmacy to renew my script (he was such an ass) without an appt and I couldn't get an appt for another two weeks.
Anywhoo - the ER check in person was like why didn't you go to your doctor? So she pursed her lips at me which at my then current state of pain and contemplation if running into traffic to kill myself, set me off screaming at her.

dentists have the same shitty hours.
Why go to an ER? Here they're all full of Mexicans.

their hours reflect how much care, which is very little.

Dentists have the highest suicide rates in California (among white males - only statistics prevalent apply to this group).
Chemists are also up there.

so many banks out there they have too. The old personal banker is a dead job. what a classic americana job has gone down the hill
that's what i'm getting at. they walk in with that cheesy smile with an Olive Garden bag in one arm and go to the front of the line. and then, God forbid, they have to wait 2 minutes, glancing around with that "i'm not comfortable being in a sick, shabbily dressed room full of people" look. do you need to go to school for that?dead_reggin_storage_fashi said:

trust me they are losers. My father was a sales manager for 30 years at a one the big dogs and seeing these young twit females try to sell products was a joke. he told me first hand. Yes they were the cute 26 year old type but that was about it. He was sad when the day of Affrim. action was in place and he had to hire females and minorities. The best minorities to hire he said were Indians from India.

Keep in mind, you're just counting the doc's office hour. Most docs also work at a hospital, where they do rounds. Some general practitioners also serve as the plant doctor for industry, and do rounds at nursing homes as well. Odds are that your doc works more hours in a week than you do...just not all at his office.

Oh I know that - but the hours have changed period - I've noted a large change the past 6 years I've been living here.
You have an extremely small window when you can speak staff - also quickly shrinking.
Not all doctors have hospital affiliations and many of those that do are a part of a group so there are only 4-8 possible days per month you might be able to get an appt with the Dr of your choice but there is always one in the office, at the hospital and two others on call.
As the daughter of a doctor - I can appreciate the hours that are put in and because I know what it's like I can also freely comment that private practice is not what it was and continues to change. Bad for the patients and the doctors.
Drs. suck, but my kids' pediatrician is awesome. He'll take us any day our kid is sick. We get the same day appointment. Awesome. Open at reasonable hours and he accepts our calls when our kids are coming down with something , just for questions and stuff. We have his cell phone and pager #'s. He gave them to us.
We LOVE him.
He's Chief of Pediatrics here at a local hospital. Not some up and coming "needy" guy who wants a name for himself, either.

Ugh, don't get me started on pharmaceutical reps. The females are gorgeous and well dressed, and they have excellent profiles on physicians they meet. Everything from their prescribing patterns (yes, this information is maintained by a national company and sold to the pharmaceutical industry) to their personal hobbies and reading interests.HumanTarget said:
My hospitals strictly forbids pharmaceutical reps from providing us lunch/dinner, free pens, or even visiting us. I enjoy it more that way since our ED is always busy and I have no time for them. (Although they are excellent eye candy to stare at!)
Regarding physician hours, most of the physicians I know work 8:30a-4:30p with an hour for lunch. They also see admitted patients (inpatients) from around 6:30-8:30 am and again in the afternoon for a brief period of time. This is why I did not choose internal medicine as a career. Most work a lot of hours each week (60-80 counting call).
