Other patients earlier in the day are late and it creates a compounding effect of lateness

This is not the reason I don't think.

You forget that some patients have minimal issues and get out quicker.
Also first appointment of the day is delayed as well.

The real reason I think is they fit people in between slots.

Like you can call office and ask for appoimtment and they say all booked this month.

Then you go, but blood is oozin out of my ear or something like that...ok probably not as major as that or they send you to ER, but basically say you need to get in.

So they say we wilk work you in.

Aka, between the 8:30 and 9 am guy, they gonna see this guy. So 9 am guy gets delayed.

Also someone calls in the office etc.
