I have found showing up early usually gets me in early.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been in this scenario:
10:01
“Hi, I have an appointment at 10:30.”
“It’s not 10:30 yet.”
“That’s okay, I’ll wait.”
10:07
“Sir? They can see you now.”
Whomever I’m meeting, especially their secretaries, are usually put off that I show up early. But once they realize I’m not leaving, they do the math in their heads and realize they should just take me early so I’ll leave early. Win-win for everyone.
Seems I must be receiving comments from a parallel reality where doctors are capable of being on time for anything. Must be nice.
Having moved around the US and experiencing a lot of healthcare system, I can it depends a lot on place.
Where are you from where this is the case?
