Dr. Patience

If you feel like you're getting the bum's rush at a doctor's appointment, something is wrong.

Hopefully, you've made a list on any concerns before the appointment. It's a good idea to give that list to the doctor as soon as he or she enters the room. That will give them an idea of what to look for and how much time you'll need.

Ten minutes of questions and answers is reasonable. If you think you'll need more time than that, you should call the office ahead of time and let your doctor know you'll need a few extra minutes.  He may need to change your appointment, or his tee time.
