“These train delays are an absolute joke!” yells Sydney GP who hasn’t seen a patient on time since 1996
WAITING ROOM: Veteran Sydney GP Dr Max Sharpe-Bell is among those lashing out at the state government over yet another day of commuter chaos sparked by a power outage across most of the train network.
“These delays are pathetic,” the doctor yelled, while waiting for his train this morning at Central Station.
“And the government acts like it doesn’t even care about keeping people waiting!”
However the doctor is facing backlash from his own patients, who say today’s transport delays are nothing compared to the wait times at his Double Bay medical clinic.
“He’s normally running at least 45 minutes late,” one long suffering patient told DBT.
“And he’s never apologised, not even once.”
DBT asked the GP about the irony of criticising public-transport delays, while failing to see a single one of his patients on time since the late 1990’s.
“Yes, but I’m a doctor, I studied for six years at university.. now I get to take my time.”
