That's actually technically illegal to do lol, but they get away with it.


yea ive heard that, most clinics are garbage anyways,  They get paid by the patient so they wanna get you in and out as fast as they can so they can see the limit and go home lol  I just go to my family doctor, hes highly rated and doesnt accept new patients lol  Hell also prescribe me things no clinic EVER would. (like my MJ prescription)

Ya cause of the old fee-for-service system, they try to get as many patients in as they can to make as much money as possible.  I actually remember learning only around 1/4 of new doctors coming out of medical school prefer the fee-for-service model, I never really understood that cause if I'm a doctor I'd want the model where I could make the most money.  The other two models are salary, which needs no explanation and capitation, which is basically you get paid a certain amount for the number of patients you have and it caps off at a certain number so you can't just get more and more patients.  Fee-for-service offers the worst health care, but it ensures the most people recieve care, it has its advantages and disadvantages.
