   Dear Swiss medicine: if you insist on making appointments 4 months in advance, please be on time when I show up to them.

     Reminds me of the Norwegian kindergarten that made the national news this week for eliminating understaffing due to sick leaves. Their big secret: "We hire enough people."

     @grrrr_shark That said, I used to have this one dentist. He didn't even have a waiting room, just three chairs in the hall.

     The longest I ever waited was 10 minutes, and everyone apologized.

     I asked the team how they managed to almost eliminate wait times. They said "oh, we just schedule the appointments with enough buffer."

     Perhaps it wasn't magic after all...

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) repeated this.

     @grrrr_shark What? Doctors being on time?

     Sorry, that's not compatible with the applicable laws of physics in this universe.
