re: acceptable wait at Doctors office

I'm more forgiving of my doc because there's no way to accurately predict how long an appointment will take when they're booking them. And the staff is very efficient and up front about delays when they occur.

Also factored into this patience is how long she spends with me without ever making me feel rushed AND how I can almost always get worked in if I need something urgently.

No idea how I'd feel at another doc with different practice management or bedside manner, but I definitely don't take my situation for granted.
