Growing up with a sibling who needed some pretty serious surgeries early on (and then needing some myself as a teen), I spent a lot of time as a kid in doctor’s offices. I learned very quickly that going to a doctor’s office and waiting is a good thing, because it means you are not the most urgent problem the doctor has to attend to. Someone else could be currently getting their cancer diagnosis explained to them, or the odds of making it alive through surgery, or any other dire shit people hear in doctor’s offices. Just because you’re there for antibiotics for a sinus infection it doesn’t mean everyone is.
Like yeah, it’s annoying to wait. You literally have the internet in your pocket though, you can entertain yourself. If you keep getting rushed out of appointments because you have too much to discuss you need to tell the front desk when you call that you need to be scheduled for a longer appointment. If your schedule allows it always do early morning appointments, they have shorter wait times because you’re not dealing with 15 other people with appointments before you all being 5 minutes late and fucking up the schedule.
If you’re the first appointment of the day you probably won’t wait much, if at all. This is dependent on your doctor, since some are on call at local hospitals or ERs in addition to their own practice.
