I think you hit on the most important topic and that is that we Pt’s have a life too and out time is important too. We don not make the big dollars or have to make life altering decisions but our time is valuable to us just as the doctors is to them. I think it is just respect plain and simple. I understand if there is an emergency of course but I expect my doctor to be respectful and be on time just as I am respectful for showing up 20 minutes early to take care of paperwork so that I do not mess his/her schedule up.

Well, spanish MDs can see close to 45 patients a day. I even knew a turkish MD who sees aprox 100 patients every day (50 on the morning & 50 more on the afternoon) but she works 20 hours a day

As a patient I always show up 5 minutes early and appreciate it when my doctor is prompt. I also thank them for being on time.
