My onc is the same @kezmusc! I went in today for my annual check. Thankfully I was only waiting about 15 mins (yes, in a public hospital too!) but the registrar that I saw was new. I've just had a hormone test so she changed me from Tamoxifen to another tablet. I wasn't having any probs with the Tamoxifen but she said to try the new one and I could always go back if I wanted. Then she started talking about more blood tests and a bone density test, but I've never had that before so wasnt quite sure what to do … but she didn't want to take any time to make sure I understood. She just gave me a pile of papers and almost shoved me out the door! Thankfully the nurse at the counter grabbed me to make my next appointment, and I shoved all my papers at her in total confusion, and she was easier to talk to.
One other time I timed it, and the time between when I left the waiting room and came back was 6 mins. In that time I walked a long hall, saw the registrar, sat and waited while she got the oncologist, saw the oncologist, and walked back to the waiting room... and that was at the start of my treatment! The oncologist didn't even sit down.
