Hey Winter
Hasn't happened to me in the exam room. I go infrequently to the doctor and the first visit to my current doctor, I waited about 3 hours in the waiting room. There were a couple of people there when I got there and then the room filled up. I was the last one to leave. Fortunately, it wasn't a picture of things to come on subsequent visits.
I've learned to take a long sleeved shirt or jacket when hubby goes to some of his doctors though. Maybe they hope if you're not sick when you get there, they can make you sick.
Luv,

Yes, I have had the experience of being 'lost and forgotten". Your story brought it all back and now I can laugh. In fact, it happened to me 2x. I waited in an exam room for an hour and a half ( pre-cancer) got dressed, walked out, and changed doctors. The second time, I was an inpatient and left on a gurney in a dark, empty holding area following a scan. My floor nurse came down to give me meds and when they said I wasn't there she started looking! ugh!
It's the little things.....

What an experience!
You have far more patience than I do...I think an hour would be my limit...lol.
Of course it was a computer glitch...lol...that way no person has to take responsibility!
Glad that they at least offered you some comp for the extra time. Perhaps if you have to return to that office you should ask for a blanket right off and take a sign for the door saying..."I am still here!"...lol
Sorry that you had the long wait but thank you for sharing your humor about the situation.
Hugs,
Marie who loves kitties0 -
I would call that...

waiting
when we went to ohio state university the 2nd time, we were advised we could have a 3 hr wait to see the onc. standard procedure. it turned out to be a 5hr wait due to being behind sched & a broken water pipe which resulted in no air conditioning for 1/2 of the exam rooms. it was 102 outside but the part we were in was freezing! what a long day!
