At 35 minutes I ask them if they'd accept me being 35 minutes late to the appointment, or would they just consider it a no show

I did that when the doctor was 40 mins to my appointment and it didn't go down well.

I do not recommend pissing off the overworked tired person in charge of your wellbeing

Yeah, I had one time where the doctor was 2 hours late. I had taken time off work for the appointment, too, but had I known he was running that late, I could have worked my normal schedule and still be there in plenty of time. Frustrating as hell, and he sincerely apologized for it.

But you never know what happened earlier in the day that caused that.

Someday, I might be the patient that needs that extra time.
