Annoyed by long wait-times at the clinic? [View all]

[Aristus]

Me too!

I can't help noticing, however, that the patients who complain the loudest are also usually the ones who insist on giving me the James Michener-version of their History of Present Illness.

Just give me the bullet-points. I don't need to know the color of your first car, or who your next-door neighbor's cousin married.

Believe me, I'd love to slow down and have a friendly chat. It's just not possible. Not when there are other exam rooms full of patients checking their watches and tapping their feet impatiently.

Clinic starts in twelve minutes...

Have a good day, everybody!
