Most people dread going to the medical professional for one reason or another. In some cases it is the fear of finding out that something is entirely wrong, but, I assume the main reason is the fact that you are left in the waiting room for far too long. Then, once you are in the exam room, you could be there for an additional half hour or longer waiting to see the physician. I have to tell you that I entirely look forward to spending time at my Dr’s office. I don’t want to visit because I am sick, I want to visit there because they have a much better Heating and A/C system than I do in my apartment. To beginning with the insulation in my building is shot and any heat or a/c that does labor doesn’t stay in my apartment. The Heating and A/C units that are installed are so ancient that they run non stop and cost a fortune run too, then so, if I am stuck resting in a perfectly comfortable waiting room for hours I have no concern with it. I will delightedly spend an afternoon good there. I take a book with me and find the most comfortable chair in the locale. I make my appointments in the late afternoon when I know the office will be tied up and I can hang out longer. Occasionally I even offer to let other patients go before me to prolong my stay. I also tend to hang out at the local book store, theaters, and the mall for the same reasons. One afternoon I will have a better condo and hopefully not have to go to such lengths just to find comfort.
