Bad memories were coming back to me as I read this. This is a pet peeve of mine and I easily recall when I was deathly ill, well, not deathly but....and they brought me back there where I waited for another 45 minutes. It felt like 3 hours. I can remember the steam coming out of my ears, the tears welling up in my eyes & the redness on my face. I told the doc how I felt, on all levels, when he came in :) Oh gosh.

Tip for next doctor's visit: I keep a red permanent marker in my purse and while I was waiting in the exam room, I corrected every misspelled word in their office signs. (I'm a former newspaper editor) Ex: If you leave, you loose your place in line. [Lose not loose]<br/><br/>They hated me after that.

I had 4 little ones and it was chaos. They should not put you in the room till the Doc is ready to walk in. Oh how easy that would make life. I always hated this when the kids were younger.

You'd think they'd know to keep the pediatrician's office stocked with toys, not just the waiting room! And that wait time really is unbearable. I know exactly what you mean!

Except for the problem that the wee ones then want me to read the WHOLE time we're in the office, including when the doctor wants to talk to me. Amen!
