I don't have any health issues and yet my doctors have always taken a lot of time with me. The one in MI and the one here. A couple of times we have even discussed non personal health issues--politics, raising children, what's happening in general with medical insurance.

Recently the FL one took twenty minutes extra time to wade through an article I read about suggested vaccinations for an upcoming trip to North Africa--which ones were most important and why, and where to go get them. He also explained where and why we would possibly incur problems eating and washing, which places we would not be able to control the sanitation of our surroundings.

I have never had a ten-minute doctor visit, and it has nothing to do with having health issues. If I did, that doctor would become my former doctor.
