@Topcat: That sucks. Tell the doc that you are going to start charging him YOUR hourly rate. I worked for an architect who told his orthopedic doctor that. He never kept him waiting again.I recently switched to a new pediatrician, and I am so glad I did. I used to sit at the doctor's office with the kids for 2-3 hours, and they didn't even appear to be that busy. At the new place, they have a sign that says if you haven't been called within 5 minutes of signing in, let someone know. This morning, I was in and out in no time. 4951
