Time for a yearly checkup! So, I decided to try someone new, on a recommendation. When I made the appointment, the woman told me to call before I come. Okay, no problem. I was scheduled to be there at 10:15am, now to come at 11am.
I showed up right on time. Now it's 12pm and the nurse calls my name. Finally! But to my surprise, it was just another room to wait in. 12:15pm the same nurse comes in to check my blood pressure and asks me all about my family history. The nurse leaves.
12:30pm I hear a knock at the door-- a gorgeous black student doctor comes in the room. (Please don't take my blood pressure, please don't take my blood pressure, please don't take my blood pressure). So, he takes my blood pressure. Not to shock me at all, it's higher than 15 minutes before. As I come out of my head-fog, I notice he's asking me the same questions the nurse asked me. I told him I hadn't eaten all day on the chance they might need to take some blood. The student doctor leaves.
12:45pm, what is going on here?! I'm trying to keep my composure, when all of a sudden I hear the doctor (that I came for) say, "She's hungry, we're all hungry, everyone has to eat." Okay, cool I'm out. I get my purse and walk up to the desk to say that I've been waiting too long. The doctor notices me and says that she was just about to see me.
"Sometimes it's an all day affair here." WHAT? It's 1pm! That's what she tells me! It took her not even 10 minutes to ask me the same questions that nurse and the student asked me an hour ago. And I was on my way.
This doctor might be good, but if she isn't world renowned, no one should have to wait 2 hours. read more
