Mini Bug went for her physical today and got 4 booster shots, poor girl. But now she won’t have to get another shot until she is 12. Why do Dr offices give you a set time for an appointment, and then make you sit there for 2 hours? Her appointment was for 10:30. We didn’t get out of that Dr’s office until 12:30. One and a half hours was spent just waiting. It’s hard enough for adults to sit in a Dr’s office and wait and wait and wait, it’s totally miserable for a child…a 4 year old hyperactive child at that. For one and a half hours I heard over and over and over again, I want to go HOME mommy. Yeah, me too I told her, but we have to do this if you want to go to school. The little darlin wants to go to school very much, so she sat and waited and fidgeted and whined and crawled around the floor on her belly which had me grinding my teeth as I asked her please sit back down and get off the dirty nasty yucky floor.
What I hate the most is the sneaky trick they play on you. After you have been waiting in the waiting room long enough to finally feel like your going to explode, they call your name and you think HA…we’re IN. Only to be taken to a room in the back to continue the sitting and waiting only this time alone and with a door closed. And it’s these things in life, that we can’t control, that we are forced to eat, that cause me to have dark eye circles.

Because you will be paying for yourself, your husband, your kids, your neighbor, your neighbors neighbor and every other Tom, Dick and Harry through your taxes. Did you think it would be for free? Someone has to pay for it. In the long run it will end up costing more than if you paid for it privately and the quality will be far less.

Barbara B. So you are against any type of health care reform? You like our system as it is? I never said I thought Health Care should be free. I said it needs fixed, it’s broken.

The reason you sit in that office waiting room and then the exam room is because that doctor allows his staff to overbook his time. I would bet money that at some point they tell you the doctor had an emergency, or some other excuse to put you (or someone else) off. Is this the only pediatrician in town? If he/she is one of a few, it could be the overbooking. NO ONE should have to wait with a child for hours to see their doctor. I know this from experience as a mother who had this very same thing happen to me. I’m sorry it’s happening to you.
