As for traveling several miles away to see a doctor because you don't have to wait or wait as long, at least when you are waiting here you are not spending "valuable time" on the road getting there, to say nothing of the gas getting there and back. And, if you get caught in traffic and are late either direction..........
Just sayin'.

Some thoughtful comments! I, personally, would rather wait a while for a particular doctor I think is competent then get in quickly with a doctor I wasn't familiar with. Doctors sometimes get behind due to situations out of their control. I don't mind waiting an hour or so if there is a good reason. The contractor, doctor, dentist, etc., who is very busy is often in high demand for a reason. They are good! Who am I to expect people to jump when I walk in. I think it is another example of the demanding attitude that begins to creep in as we age. Let's face it we're retired. What is the big deal, especially if you are pleased with your care. Relax, bring a book, do some reading, maybe some knitting. Just don't just stare at the wall and grind your teeth because a doctor gets behind and sees you an hour after you were scheduled..
