Why Are GPs Always Late?

You show up on time. You wait. And wait. And wait.

This week, Rosie and Roula tackle a universal frustration: doctors who never run on time. From 10-minute delays to full hours spent in a waiting room, they vent about the absurdity of scheduled appointments that mean absolutely nothing and the larger, uncomfortable reality behind it all: healthcare as a business.

Rosie is fired up (no surprise), and Roula gets passionate about respect, cultural gaps in care, and how our time is devalued by a system that treats patients like passive bodies in a queue.

This episode explores:

- Why we tolerate GPs being chronically late

- The deeper power dynamic between doctors and patients

- How healthcare systems often prioritize efficiency over empathy

- The quiet rebellion of asking: why is this okay?

If you’ve ever sat in a waiting room wondering why no one respects your time this one’s for you.
