I was actually forgotten about after being taken to the little room at the doctor's office, and I had to leave my room to go find somebody. They were at least honest about it and apologized.

2+ hours for a damn strep test.

Insane. Has this happened to anybody else?

ETA: The whole 2 hours weren't spent in the room. You have to remember the amount of time it takes to get from the front door to the little room. I waited about 30 minutes before going to find somebody.

No. Because I wouldn't have sat there for 2 hours.

I like how Drs offices are so busy you always have to wait, yet an occupied room goes unnoticed for 2+ hours. Mystifying.

The whole 2 hours weren't spent in the little room. It took about 45 minutes to make it to the little room.

Happened to me not long ago.

Had I not gone out looking I think they would have locked me in the building.

My doctor had already left...

Thanks Obamacare

Strep throat you say? Someone's been sucking too much dong.

The dr came in and said that they thought I was already taken care of and that I was gone.

You sat there for 2 hours before going to question whether you were forgotten?

Negative

I give doctors no more than 20 minutes. It's not my fault that they have trouble scheduling correctly (some of it isn't their fault of course).

I wouldn't have sat in a room for 2 hours, and I tend to be a "let shite be" kinda guy.

You're an idiot for sitting in there for 2 hours waiting instead of checking to see what the problem was. You came to get sympathy from OT, and I give none to you

just call your old college roomie the doctor, tell him you have strep, and get him to call you in a Rx.
