At the time I was a bit annoyed, but after seeing how efficient it is to have your questions written out before you and to be able to hand that the doctor for him/her to answer, I realized how smart it was. I still do it to this day, and now they scan it into my chart.
How many times do you get to the doctor's office and forget what you wanted to ask him/her?

I agree about writing questions down. Also, our doctor, Martinez Cruz, gave us his email address, which he checks twice a day, even on Saturday. He will send in refill prescriptions, order prescriptions for a condition you've seen him for previously and now need something else for, critique specialists you are thinking of choosing--all by email. I don't have to take up his office time with follow-ups unless I want to.
He's on his own and doesn't overbook. I've only had one wait, due to an emergency.
