What's the longest time you waited to see a doctor.

[LaKecias]

I just waited 2 hours and 15 minutes yesterday at my doctor's appointment and still left without seeing the doctor my husband and I had some other stuff to take of. CRAZY!

I've waited for about 2-3 hours a few times before. One time, I waited some good 2 and a half hours, went in for a yearly general check out, did the routine, doctor said I had to give out some blood in the Lab next door, for some general and routine testing; went to the lab and waiting for another hour. I was exhausted after that. Talk about being a "patient".

I have a good doctor so I don't have a long wait time, know when I go to the emergency room three to four hours.

My doctor always runs late. The later your appointment is the longer you wait, so i learned to make early appointments with him. Waited an hour once to see him. ER visit about 90 minutes once.

  I go to the doctor once a month to get my perception refilled, the meds I take will not allow over 30 days without a doctors scrip. Everytime its an hour wait, alls he says is "Hi, How Ya Doing" then hands me the scrip. Go in at 10, out by 11 or 11:15 ..... BUMMER

I don't usually have to wait much more then 15 minutes to see my doctor,But when i lived in a border town it was a long time up to 3 hours. Some familys would show up with all there relatives and then go in and want the doctor to exam all of them. Without chargeing anymore for 4-6 then for 1 . It was awful. Er was even longer.

   Where do you live? There is a critical shortage of doctors worldwide. You are lucky if you see a nurse or a physycian assistant. I think the doctors are saved for more serious cases.

I don't know if this counts but...it was a long time to wait on a Doctor.  I took my daughter into her pediatrician...she had some weird flu bug and on day 3 of her sleeping for 14 hours at a time...eating a pinch than back to sleep for a couple of more hours I'd had enough.  He ordered some blood work on her and told me he was going out of the country for a week but to call the office if I hadn't heard from his staff in the next couple of days.  When I called them not only did nobody answer but there was a voice mail saying, "do not leave a message on this machine; call  ###:###:#### and refer to such and such's office for medical attention."  I called that office and was told since they didn't order the blood work they couldn't get the results.  8 days after her visit I get a call from one of the nurses saying Dr wants to follow up with your daughter.

The longest I've ever waited to see a doctor was probably a little over an hour.

OMG! Back in the day I remember long waits, but in the last fifteen years, my waits have been under 15 minutes. However, you just wait until Obama Care kicks in...it will get much worse! Not only that, the doctors will be so taxed, the quality of care will go down, and there will be months long waits for surgeries and tests and treatments. I remember the well known Canadian woman with a brain tumor who had to come to the US for treatment and surgery. Canada has an "Obamacare like" health system. Her wait was so long that she would have long since been dead when her number finally came up.
Then I read a story about a man in the UK  (they have similar to Obamacare, too.) He weighed almost a thousand pounds. They had to remove him from his home with a wench and a flatbed truck, paid for with healthcare, cuz he was too huge for any Gurney or Ambulance. He needed to be hospitalized for months on end to be tube fed so he could lose weight. When he lost weight he was to be given a gastric bypass. One problem to hospitalizing him. Patient rooms were on the second floor. His weight would have collapsed the floor. So before he went in, a team of engineers were hired to stabilize the floor from below. Again charged to health care! No wonder their income taxes are 49 percent! Can you imagine working and handing 49 percent of your salary in taxes to the government? It will eventually happen here, thanks to Obamacare. People don't realize how this thing will morph into a monstrosity. Speaking of which, If Obama has his way, regarding firearms, we will be like the UK......No way to defend ourselves, and only the criminals will have firearms.
