Are you a doctor? Sadly that sounds like the attitude of far too
many doctors. Obviously other doctors have more respect for their
patients time, like the doctor who calls your ride when they are
actually needed, instead of holding them hostage for 5 hours.
This can be a serious problem for the elderly, that have to find
someone, ask a favor, to get to treatment. You minimize it, like
it's trivial. A person can ask a neighbor for 30 mins of their time
and get positive results, be able to use them multiple times.
Have them tied up for 5+ hours and you may run out of rides before
long.

If I was the driver, I'd wait until the procedure would be started, the
go to the restroom and show up 4 hours later.

The medical center we use is much more sensible. They take the driver's
phone number and call back when they are going to need you. They used to
give you a pager to take with you. If you wait, they have a waiting room
with TV, computers, refrigerator, microwave.
