Ah, the US health care system. If you figure out why steps 1-9 are needed before I see the doc, let me know

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

Step 8

Step 9

FINALLY

Go to appointment

Sign in

Provide insurance card

Provide ID

Fill out paperwork

Fill out more paperwork

Listen to shitty office music while I wait 45 minutes for my appointment that is now 2 hours past due

Meet nurse and vitals get checked

More paperwork to sign

Wait in exam room for 15 minutes

Doc walk in

Sees me for 3 minutes

Walks out

Nurse comes back in

Start over at step 1

It’s exhausting
