How is this abusing the system? Just because someone has a different perspective on when they should see a doctor doesn't mean they are abusing the system. Abusing the system means they're gaining something extra from it. Why are they doing it? Just to hang out in hospital waiting rooms to read the free magazines?
And if you've got an appointment and have to wait, isn't that the fault of the doctor's office and not the people who you claim are abusing the system?
