re: how long do you wait at the drs office

but most doctors don't show up till an hour after their first appointment is scheduled

Appointments require a certain amount of time before the patient is ready to see the doctor. Depending on the type of pre-workup the patient gets from the RNs and such, the doctor usually walks in around the time the first or second patient has been triaged. Suggesting that most doctors wait until all the rooms are packed and the waiting room is full has not been my experience. Some do. Even plenty do. But not most.
