"Got This In The Mail Recently. Charged Interest On 0$ By Doctors Office. Then Sent To Collection Over 6 Years Later Without Ever Once Being Contacted By Said Office"
"Doctor’s Office Turned Away My Dad For Arriving At 9:50 For His 10:00 Appointment"
"They said their policy is to arrive 30 minutes early; therefore, he was 20 minutes late and they wouldn’t see him. He is NOT a new patient.
That is a 9:30 appointment, then, not 10:00!
Update to add more details:
My parents have been seeing this doctor for years. They’re very punctual and always arrive early to appointments.
They were not told of this requirement to be there 30 minutes early, nor has it ever come up in all the other times they’ve arrived 10-15 minutes before their appointment.
This was just an annual checkup, made for 10:00 and not rescheduled from another time.
I personally think this is either a new policy they weren’t told about, or an old, unenforced policy that someone having a bad day decided to enforce today.
I hate that this kind of thing has happened to so many of you. Probably more than mildly infuriating"

"Doctor's Office Left A Message Cancelling My Appointment With 1 Hour's Notice; The Next Day I Made An Online Request For A Prescription Renewal (Which I'd Planned To Do During The Visit); They Wouldn't Send It In Because I Hadn't Seen The Doctor Recently Enough"
"In the two days before the appointment they'd asked me to confirm THREE times (twice by text, once by email).
I only found out about the prescription denial when I checked the pharmacy a couple of days later and they hadn't received anything, so I called the doctor's office to find out why it hadn't been sent in. They finally sent it in when I pointed out they'd cancelled my appointment when I was almost on my way to see the doctor, and they hadn't had a new available appointment for weeks."

"My Dr Thinks He Is Dr House"
"I was at the VA a Couple weeks ago after waiting 6 months to see the bone doctor for a worsening preexisting injury afflicting both of my legs. The doctor spent the entire time playing with the keyboard, not typing anything (i can see the monitor with nothing on it) just tappy tap tapping away, never even makes eyes contact, then proceed to tell me my 16 year old injury must be caused by gout and we will do blood work to confirm but also here is the gout medication because he is correct about this. He then shoo's me out of the room with an "I'm done with you now". I get the blood work done (throw out the prescription) and 5 days later get a call letting me know to stop taking the medication because I don't have gout. YA DONT SAY?!"
