How long would YOU wait? I had a friend that would give her doctor fifteen minutes in the waiting room. If her appointment was not met because the doctor was called to surgery, he was excused. Otherwise, she would inform the nurse, and leave. I like the idea of billing the doctor for YOUR time. Many doctors overbook their time and have no regard for the people waiting. Others, like in the article, reward their patients for waiting. Personally, I feel that the doctor should keep his or her appointments realistic. I have resorted to asking when the doctor usually arrived and made my appointment to coincide with that time. Some doctors, also, will bill you $50 for not showing up or cancelling the appointment to close to the actual time. IMHO, this should work in both directions...
Two Southern Belles were sittin' on the porch one hot afternoon.
The first had just returned from a trip to New York. She said to
the second Belle,
"You know, up there in New York, they've got men who kiss men on
the lips."
"Oh dear me!" cried the second Belle. "What do they call those
men?" she questioned.
The first replied, "They call them homosexuals. And did you know,
up there they've got women who kiss women on the private parts?"
"Oh Heavens!" The second gasped. "What on Earth do they call
those women?"
"Why, they call them lesbians. Up there, they also have men who
kiss women on their private parts."
The second belle nearly fell from her chair. "Oh Lawdy! What do
they call those men?"
The first Belle answered, "Well, after I caught my breath, I
called him precious!"
