No, my doctors go straight from one patient to the next. I can hear them or see them do that. The nurse usually has a couple of patients in different exam rooms at the same time to make that possible. There is not a break time between patients, typically. Maybe they schedule the docs pretty heavily like this since the doc bills as such a high rate. Probably the docs wish they had a break between patients, like therapists often do.

Why do some people not like to see their T's other clients? As I wrote upstream, I like it, it gives me confidence in my T, plus I'm curious. Are those who don't like it worried they will run into someone they know in the exam room and feel embarrassed to be going for therapy? Or maybe if you have a hard session and are crying as you leave, you don't want someone to see you so upset? I can understand that. My T's waiting room is a pretty short distance to cross once I am out of his room, so if I was upset, the next client would only get a glimpse of me as I fled out the door. And then most likely I'd never see them again, so well I don't care if they see me upset for an instant. My T has actually chased me a couple of times into the waiting room when I left upset and tried to un-upset me right there when another client was present. That was weird! Like, hey T, I don't do therapy when there is a stranger present!
