If the doctor is late or cancels the appointment is there a corresponding fine for the doctor? I personally have never missed an appointment but I've shown up on time for my appointments and sat around for 30 minutes and then got up and left because it was a non-critical visit. The office freaks out telling me I should wait for my appointment and I told him they should be ready at the appointed time otherwise what's the point of the appointment.<p>Clearly offices get backed up and unexpected things happen but they can call non-critical visits and ask if they want to reschedule or alert me that they are running late. I figure by me leaving it allows them to get their schedule back on track.
