The Problem with the 10 minute Visit

Why does a doctor’s appointment feel like it’s over before it even starts?In this episode, Dr. Cindy pulls back the curtain on what really happens during a so-called 20-minute appointment—and why it often feels more like 10 rushed minutes of talking, typing, and trying to squeeze it all in. She shares her own honest frustrations as a physician who’s been on both sides of the exam table: wanting to give excellent, thoughtful care but trapped in a system that doesn’t allow time to do it well.You’ll hear a story about what gets lost in the rush, what patients truly need, and why it’s time to imagine a different kind of care—one that makes space for listening, healing, and human connection.Come, enter the Care Room!
