I LOVE elderly folk...we are just so truely simpatico. I would have fit right in. I am 45 with 3 daughters , 15 ,11 and a 5 year old who made me an antique mom as well. I would have relished the respite from my life in that waiting room for a while but after 5 hours ..I may have started having paranoid delusions.

Enjoyed your column tho, esp. the double-dutch jump between the hush puppies. Rock on! It’s unconscionable that doctor made you and those poor older people wait for so long!

Nurse: The Dr. will see you now, but first we must get your weight. Patient: 4 hours. Any more questions? Perhaps if a few more people answered this way and refused to get on the actual scale, life in the Dr. office would be different. This reminds me of a conversation I read about once.

It makes me wonder how long the actual appointment was by comparison. I have waited for hours to see a doctor, but never that long ... maybe this doctor assumes most of his patients are old and takes their time for granted. Gotta hand it to you for not being upset.

We'd get embarrassed if they had to wait more than 30 minutes, or if the doctor, god forbid, was running late and hadn't shown up and the waiting room was full. Four hours - I'd have been on the phone booking with someone else. Unless he's in there doing open heart surgery on somebody that's just crazy. Of course, I get a loaner car if they change my oil. Maybe I'm not the best gauge as to what is too long... I worked in a doctors office.

I also have high cholesterol (I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours) :) and saw a cardiologist until he called and canceled our appointment last year, and never rescheduled. I guess he's not too worried about me afterall. Anyway, 4 hours is way, way, way too long! I never waited more than 20 minutes. Of course...I always brought my babies with me...maybe therein lies the key! lol. Time to get a new cardiologist!

But this was a hilarious post. :) One of my friend's mom's used to send invoices for her wasted time to doctors who kept her waiting longer than 30 minutes. Even at minimum wage, sounds like you could make a killing off of this place! I can’t believe you had to wait so long!

I, too, always take a ton of reading. But I do think that a dr. that doesn't manage scheduling is being rude. RUDE.
