What a stupid example. Nurses and equipment are expensive, and get repaid in patients per hour. They would rather make money with your presence in the hallways and waiting rooms, and could route you/keep you waiting to optimize for capacity and profit.
Better example would be the app controlled washing machine that tortures you into subscription with ads. Or vacuum. Or freaking light switch: I'll turn on the light after this message from...
As a Canadian, I agree with you, but this is probably made by an American, and they don't get paid by patients per hour.
They nickel and dime everyone. Our ad added an extra 50 seconds to the appointment? Well now your bill went from $45,000 to $47,000.
But if they can ask 5 patients for 47000 instead of 4, profits still go up, don't they?
