Default Waiting at the doctor's office - nuts or normal

OK, just had a one hour and 15 minute wait at the ortho office for my shoulder. I was fuming by the time the doc came in and mentioned the wait to no avail. After the exam I talked with the office staff/manager, in a nice manner, stating they really need to do better at scheduling, it was just not a cool way to do business. Needless to say, they didn't really give a rats @#& but did say "an hour at least is the usual wait at any docs office". I've worked in healthcare long enough to know only a poorly run office schedules this way because this is consistent with this practice. My fault to keep going back but I need their services and just had to vent. Now I know why I really do like doggies better the humans.
