The Hidden Cost of Wasted Time in Healthcare

If you’ve ever waited weeks for a specialist appointment only to leave with more questions than answers, you know the frustration. But the real cost of that wasted time goes deeper: Missed diagnoses... Delayed treatments... Lost workdays... Extra anxiety from unclear communication... Hours of stressful Googling. At DSYG, we believe time is a clinical resource. When patients are better informed, they make better use of limited time during visits—and get better care because of it. That’s why our guides exist. They’re built to fill the gaps between appointments so patients show up ready to understand and act. Wasted time in healthcare isn’t just inefficient - It’s a barrier to health.
