The health care industry has changed, and the doctor/patient relationship has suffered as a result. Insurance companies and hospitals are increasingly pressured to boost profits by limiting one-on-one time between doctors and patients, and by moving more patients in and out of the hospital more swiftly. And the passing of recent health care laws will increase the pace of change in this direction.
You've likely experienced the effects of these changes already. Have you made an appointment with an orthopedic or cardiologist office and been seen by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant instead of a doctor? Did you see the MD at all? Maybe for a few short minutes at the end of a long wait? It's not unreasonable to expect to see a doctor on time and for the duration of your appointment.
