Patients for whom there is no appointment who ask to be seen on the same day can be a source of irritation. During March 1978, 214 of these patients were compared with 749 who made appointments. No evidence was found that such patients were abusing the system, and almost half were found to be children. It was concluded that these consultations were inevitable, but the attitude of the doctors to them may have been affecting their management. The system used produces some loss of personal care, the effects of which need to be studied further.
那些没有预约却要求当天就诊的患者可能会让人感到恼火。1978年3月，对214名这类患者与749名预约就诊的患者进行了比较。没有发现证据表明这类患者在滥用该系统，而且发现几乎一半是儿童。得出的结论是，这些会诊是不可避免的，但医生对他们的态度可能一直在影响对他们的管理。所采用的系统造成了一定程度的个人护理缺失，其影响需要进一步研究。
