I would say that it was during my college days I was in a clinical posting where I had to recall a patient for doing some dental related procedures and the patient is given appointment at around 9am. The patient reported as shortly at that time. But due to some seminars and project works, I arrived at the lab and clinical posting around 9.30 am. But the patient is not tensed, he is very calm and I explained to him that I was late because of this. So I done the procedure. completing it I inform my staff that it was due to my fault the work got delayed. After sending the patient he told that you should strip properly to your timings so that your patients will arrive 15 minutes earlier. Because following discipline and maintaining timing is the important ethical rule a medical practitioner should follow. So if anyone fails to follow that he will not reach a success in his career and the patients will become irritated and they tend to move on to other doctors. If you want to pertain a patient in your clinic and you want to do justice to your job, you have to stick properly to your timing so that the other patient will not get delayed. For instance, if a patient is given appointment at around 9 am and if a doctor arrives at only around 10 am, then the next patient is scheduled at 10 am. Both the patients will face trouble because they are sparing their precious time by getting permission from their work as well as their organization and they are in so much pain. If you are arriving such late work, it will create a bad behavior. So I stick to the timing and now I open a clinic of my own and I would arrive 15 minutes earlier to the opening time and I stick to the appointments and schedules that no patient has suffered and facing any hindrances from visiting me and I provide a good healthcare to the patients and everyone will be satisfied with my work.

I would say that it was during my college days when I was in a clinical posting. I had to recall a patient for some dental-related procedures, and the patient was given an appointment at around 9 am. The patient arrived shortly at that time. However, due to some seminars and project work, I arrived at the lab and clinical posting around 9:30 am. The patient was not tense; he was very calm, and I explained to him that I was late because of this. I completed the procedure and informed my staff that it was due to my fault that the work got delayed. After sending the patient off, he told me that I should stick properly to my timings so that my patients would arrive 15 minutes earlier. He emphasized that following discipline and maintaining timing is an important ethical rule a medical practitioner should follow. If anyone fails to adhere to this, they will not achieve success in their career, and patients will become irritated and tend to move on to other doctors. If you want to retain a patient in your clinic and do justice to your job, you have to stick to your timing so that other patients will not be delayed. For instance, if a patient is given an appointment at around 9 am and if a doctor arrives only around 10 am, then the next patient, scheduled at 10 am, will also face trouble. Both patients are sparing their precious time by getting permission from their work and organizations, and they are in pain. Arriving late creates a bad impression. So, I stick to my timing, and now I have opened a clinic of my own. I arrive 15 minutes earlier to the opening time, and I adhere to the appointments and schedules so that no patient suffers or faces any hindrances when visiting me. I provide good healthcare to my patients, and everyone is satisfied with my work.
