Waiting at the doctor's office.

When you go to your doctor's office, how long do you generally wait in the lobby before you get to the other little room? Then when you get in the little room, how long before the doctor comes to see you? It just seems to me they think your time is not worth anything. I am sure your boss would like it if you told him, boss I know I am suppose to be here at 9am but I will be there between 9am and 9:30am. Maybe a little later. I am sure they would like that. I personally have walked out after waiting to long long. My time is worth a lot to me as well.

Then if you have to go to the emergency room, please. That takes the longest. You have the people with no insurance that go there for any treatment. I had a friend that was in his late 70's fall and bust his head open. It took 9 staples to close it up. It took him 7 1/2 hours from start to finish. Now that just is not right. At his age he had fallen and busted his head open, something was wrong and then add the gash to his head. I sort of thought emergency meant do it fast or see them fast. I just personally don't understand the system.
