It was a 35 minute drive that took closer to 45 because of traffic and road construction. I arrived at my appointment the obligatory 15 minutes early to complete paperwork, except then they told me that I had already completed all of the extra nonsensical forms that such places require. So I sat for 15 minutes waiting for my appointment time to arrive.
And then I sat for 15 more minutes. I was busy on my phone so I hardly noticed the time.
And then I sat for 15 more minutes. I was beginning to be a bit frustrated because I had now been sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes.
And then I waited about 5 more minutes before being called to the back to have my vitals taken. After that I was then shown into the exam room. To wait.
And then I sat there for 15 more minutes.
And then then, finally, the nurse practitioner arrived to begin the process of my visit.
All-in-all I waited a lot, but it was worth it. I was pleased that I had one of the most thorough appointments that I have ever had and that we came up with a good plan.
But why all of the waiting? I don't think I'll take the last appointment of the day again.
