Lance Glad you enjoyed the post - and I agree with the prescription!

Keith You got that right!

Joe I never know whether parents think we're writing too much or not writing enough - or if they just want the mark and could care less about the comments!

After 25 years of doing report cards by hand this is my first of having them done automatically by a top notch grading system. On the downside, there's way too much snow here for me to ride to school these days.

Doctors leaving early for the day is right up their with their typical arrogance in making us wait for unreasonable amounts of time in their waiting rooms. We need collectively to cut them down to size and make them understand that they're there to serve us without expecting us to treat them like some kind of royalty. I'd certainly be asking for that $50, from the doctor himself on my next visit.

Under those circumstances Dave, I think you would be entitled to "one free missed appointment with no charge" card. You could give them a call and mention that you will expect to be able to pick it up on your next appointment. I mean, fair is fair. ... what is good for the goose and all that!

Nice post, and I agree - 50 bucks seems fair to me if they miss the appointment. Of course, that will never happen. I would also like to charge them a late fee if I get there on time, and I don't get in to see the doc until 20 minutes later!

Your prescription from this frustration is a good one...get on the scooter and ride...it works for me everytime too!

That's one thing about the doctor in New West - although there's meters on one side of the street, there's about 5 car lengths of two hour parking on the other side. And I can always squeeze my Vespa in between a couple of the cars!

You missed out on a great opportunity to get the $50. bucks. Recently I also had to go to the Dentist. There is virtually NO parking down in the Davie/Burrard area and residents parking throughout the West End. I had a favourite steet which now has parking meters. I usually book my appointments early around 7:30a or earlier since I work in Coquitlam and it takes an hour each way. The problem is that the parking meters do not take effect until 9am and while I would most likely finish "in time", you never know. and it just didn't feel right to have to feed the meter from 7:30a with 2 hours of COIN just to get the "extra" 30 minutes that I needed.
At least you got a long ride out this experience
