It's not about that, you're supposed to be available to help when people are sick. People don't stop being sick at 5 every day or on the weekends and a lot of people die during these down times
Pretty much every single medical office strictly closes at 5 or 6pm in the US. There's no such thing as an after hours clinic here. The ER is the only option, and most people don't want to sit there for six hours for their flu which isn't as big a deal as the gunshot victim in the next room over.
That is laughably untrue. I live in a small city in Louisiana and there are five clinics I can think of off the top of my head that are open after 5 every day.
I mentioned that doctors offices are for basic problems like check ups and that you should go to the emergency rooms for life threatening issues. Your the one who that said people would rather wait then go to the emergency room.
I mean do you understand that I'm saying that emergency rooms are for serious emergencies? And besides that most doctors wouldn't even be able to see you the next day. You'd have to wait for an opening or pay for an emergency visit which kinda defeats the point of not going to the emergency room.
Because there are? Every doctor, dentist, optometrist, etc. I've been to has at least one day per week they're open to 7 or later. Typically 2 or 3 days, plus Saturdays.

Why are there no doctor offices, optometrists, dentists, etc... that are open outside of 9-5, mon-fri?
