My appointment for my doctor is 2pm. We came a bit early, 1:45pm. Now it is 2:10pm. So been waiting here for almost 30minutes. Hate waiting here. Hope we don't have to wait for 1 hr or more!
Do you also have to wait that long when you have appointment at a certain time?

Waiting is nothing as long as the doctor's result to you is good news.

Waiting is everything because our time is precious.

I usually come 2 hours before our family doctor comes around. Better wait than set another appointment.

Yes, I have...many times. There was a time I had to wait for nearly an hour.
Sometime I don't even know why they need to book you in when you still have to wait.

That is exactly what I mean. We all have precious time and that is why we book for appointment to have that time slot. If we wait 5-15 minutes, that is fine but more than 15 minutes of waiting especially 30 minutes or more, that is not acceptable as we all have things to do.

In India, most of all doctor's are so busy, so it is very normal to wait for consultation

If I go to government clinics or hospital, it is definitely a long wait there.

Medical appointments are notorious for keeping you waiting.

Yes it is annoying if we have to wait for 30minutes or more considering we have an appointment.
