then read people bitching online like you were just spending that time drinking coffee and flirting with the nurses

I don’t think anyone actually took that route (none of the comments I read).

I honesty kind of blame the patient for talking about 6 different issues while here I am trying to go by the rules and only use 5 mins of my doctor’s time.

I have never unappreciated doctors, but that doesn’t mean things can’t improve.
