Most NYC Physicians see an average of 25-35 patients in an 8 hour day (including lunch break).That totals to approximately 6 patients an hour, or 1 patient every 10 minutes.Should more than one patient take up over 10 minutes of the physician’s time, backup can occur.This is why most waiting rooms in my NYC physician’s practices are overflowing.There are both monetary and practical reasons why physicians are willing to commit to so many patients in a single day, but it begs the question: how is an individual’s health truly being served by having only 10 minutes of a physician’s time?Typically, people go to doctors when they don’t feel well.If a patient has a chest cold, yes, they could be in and out with their prescription of antibiotics in ten minutes or less.What if, however, the symptoms are related to something chronic or more serious?Can this be found out in ten minutes or less?
NYC physicians must be able to discern what is wrong with a patient as quickly and efficiently as possible.
