Your Dermatologist Might Not be FIFO. Patients get appointments for Botox faster than for moles: study

You might expect that a doctor's office either takes appointments in terms of:

• FIFO (first into the queue, first out -- first called, first seen) OR
  
• Triage priority (more serious or time critical cases first)

"It was possible doctors wanted to offer faster access for Botox treatments "because of higher relative payments for cosmetic services," the study said."
