Going to a doctor’s appointment can be time consuming. At least my family and I find this to be true.
We alway do our best to either get to the Doctor’s office on time or early. It usually doesn’t take that long for one of the receptionist to take our information and such. After that we usually only wait a few minutes for the Nurse to call us in. After that is the usual, taking of the blood pressure, the temperature and all that stuff.
As the Nurse is walking out of the room she tells us the Doctor will be with us in just a few minutes. What really happens is this waiting game. They say it will be a few minutes,but it never is.
We always wait anywhere from 20 – 45 minutes for the Doctor. It’s gotten to the point for our family that we take bets to see how long we really will have to wait for the Doctor. I’m usually right. Go figure, huh.
I really don’t understand this. I don’t get why we have to wait so long for the Doctor to get to our exam room. I do find it annoying. All that waiting and the actually visit with the Doctor takes about 5 minutes.
Can someone please tell me what’s up with that?
Does anyone else have this problem with their Doctor’s office?
