For different reasons, ...I can relate to this post. For different reasons, I tried a new doctor a couple of years ago. First trip (for bloodwork): My waiting in all consist of just under 2 hours. I went all through my secession, then just before I walked out, I ask the doctor if I should expect all of my visits to be as lenghty. He gave me all of the reasons I had to wait, in other words, "expect it, I am a doctor". I said, I did not ask you why I had to wait, just if this is the norm. I left him somewhat frustrated. So was I and never returned. I found another, love him, no lenghty waiting. Comment too long, sorry...lol.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912324534961704540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-17343151763982243422012-05-06T09:21:12.466-04:002012-05-06T09:21:12.466-04:00Vent away, Jack.

We had one where we used to live; haven't found one down here yet, but I'm sure with son's Cadillac we will have to soon :)<br /><br />Doctors! And I've worked for them. I know they have to eliminate a lot of things in making a diagnosis and that's why so much testing at times. I never understand why they can't stay on a schedule though. Its all if they got to the office on time; if they were even just a few minutes late it threw everything off for the rest of the day. I too do not like to wait for doctors and rarely see them. I learned to go for the earliest appointments in the day, better chance of a shorter wait!<br /><br />enjoy today!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-3241464786410691832012-05-06T09:01:18.270-04:002012-05-06T09:01:18.270-04:00I agree about doctors and I do avoid them. Thankf...I agree about doctors and I do avoid them. Thankfully my good health has allowed me to do that now for many years. Someday I may need to see one but I don't try to fix what isn't broke. Sherry does need to see them since she has something broken there. Too bad she was left waiting like that. Something could have and should have been said and done for sure. I hope today is good one for you both. It's a chilly morning here but the sun is shining! Take good care!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-39656680286804136852012-05-06T02:53:47.877-04:002012-05-06T02:53:47.877-04:00You're right Jack... our time is just as valua...You're right Jack... our time is just as valuable as the doctor's is seeing us. I was once 15 minutes late for an appointment. It was unavoidable. I called to tell them I'd be late. I said if it was a problem, I'd reschedule. They said it wasn't. When I got there I waited another 30-40 minutes. The nurse finally came out and told me the doctor could NOT see me that day or any day because I had been late. She asked me to find another doctor. I kid you not. I was there for BLOOD PRESSURE medication. Imagine how I felt? As for the cars, you're right about mechanics nickel and diming you. My hubby troubleshoots car problems with help of internet and goes in there armed with knowledge. They hate that. take care. Hope Sherry is doing better. she's in my prayers.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.com
