    I’m willing to bet this is more common than we all think, probably a self fulfilling prophecy.

    Some doctors may get complacent thinking, oh I’ll be late by the end of the day anyway.

    At least, this has happened to me on a handful of occasions too.

    But really, the problem is that the practices are booking too many appointments.

      Yeah. My wife was an eye doctor in private practice, and she was positively militant about never getting behind schedule.

      She very rarely ran behind. It would require a cascade of emergencies.
