I fired a doctor recently. He was late consistently, never apologized, and when I finally confronted him, he seemed shocked that I had a problem with it. Yes, he's a specialist. Yes, he thinks quite well of himself. No, I wasn't satisfied with his performance in other ways, either. All those were factors in deciding to fire him.
But being roughly an hour late to all of the three appointments I'd had with him was really the tipping point.
(Keeping in mind my authority thing -- it takes a while for me to recognize that I don't have to put up with that sort of disrespectful treatment, even from a perceived authority figure.)
Thus I have to disclose a bias. And I also have to disclose that firing doctors -- and therapists, for that matter, since I've done that, too -- turns out to be quite a pleasant hobby. ;-)
