Absolutely nothing to do with the FAA

They don't have the "I was saving a life and you complain about sitting in my waiting room for 4 1/2 hours" schtick (which, frankly, doctors are rarely justified in using), but it is a difficulty of the job, and probably hard to handle for people whose work skills generally lie in something other than their tight logistical & organizational abilities.
Nevertheless, I think the "call people back, show up when you say you will and do your work on time" campaign is of vital importance, even as much as timely eBay feedback.

Not in their defense, estimate appointments shouldn't be scheduled during working hours. My BF schedules them first thing in the morning, at lunch, after 6:30 or weekends so that he is never late for an estimate. I think that's why he is a good closer. And the last time my doctor left me in his waiting room for 3 1/2 hours ( I HATE OTRTHOPODS) because his golf game ran over (literally) I told him that if he ever did it again, I would chop of his surgeons' hands and he's never left me waiting again....

Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
