Two hours of time spent, only to find out (repeatedly) from the doc that all we had to do was mail her the form and she could have filled it out since Rebecca already had a complete physical this year. Maybe--and I'm just thinking in pixels here--maybe they could inform the appointment-making apparatchicks of this. Yeah--I know--that's just crazy talk!
Anyway, we did go ahead and get her a flu shot while we were there. And I have to say, it really doesn't seem to be much of a benefit to have a separate waiting room for sicko kids, when they all have to be piled up together with all the well kids in the injection waiting area. I walked out feeling as though I was covered in a layer of croup.
Blech.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at November 7, 2006 09:19 AMMy pediatricians' just moved to their new and improved digs and they separate waiting areas for both the lobby and the lab. A huge improvement over the old cramped office that piled everybody waiting for the lab in a tiny area with only four chairs.

Unfortunately, half of them are in a four-foot wide sliver of left-over space that means your knees are touching someone else's. Which would be fine if they were touchable knees, but if they look like mine, you'd probably be repulsed.
