Most recent example: The other week I had an appointment to meet with a doctor I have to see every semester to get my prescriptions. An appointment. As in an assigned specific time where we agreed to meet. I end up waiting an hour for the doctor to be ready.
And I don't want to just blame the policies. They could probably bend that rule if they really wanted to. There are a lot of rules and policies that exist that many departments in IC just ignore because they are purposeless. The problem is that they don't want to bend the rules. They'd much rather leave the burden on the students rather than put in the effort to provide decent service. I assume you've seen the ladies who run the medication room. Lolly-gagging and chatting while there's a line of 10 people who need their medication but probably also need to be somewhere within the next hour. Doctors who take entire weeks to write a prescription on request, even though if you see them in person, they can write one up in minutes. That's not policy. That's just laziness.
I helped some of the people who work there over the summer. It seems like everyone there hates their job but sticks with it for the money and job security. While I guess IC can be blamed for that, I've never felt like hating your job was a good excuse to be bad at it.
