Doctors' Offices

Everyone, at some point or another has had to go to the doctor's. I don't know about anyone else, but for me the worst part of the visit isn't the inevitable needle that is going to make you tired, or sneeze or just plain sick- nope- it's the WAITING! The actual once look over by the doctor and the action of having being stabbed take minutes/ second even. Its the part before that is utterly ridiculous.
For example: In order to take my dance class at college i need to have a physical activity card. But in order to get that i need to get a paper filled out by my Doctor. But in order to do that i need to pee in a cup and have some blood taken. Now, I'm a very busy person, so i figured i could go a morning before work BC i have to be there at 10.
So, this morning i woke up at 715 and was at the place and signed in by 830. There was no one at the front desk, and hardly any people in the waiting room. But then what happened was time went by, and by, and by and by until eventually 45minutes had passed and the density of the room had tripled.
All of a sudden, "they" were "behind schedule" and were taking appointment people first. What did this mean? That people from far and wide were just strolling in 5minutes AFTER their appointment time and walking right in. I'm sorry, did i get knocked in the head because the last time i checked i was definitely not in Disney world and there was no fast pass line! so what the hell?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I ended up having to leave before i could get any of my tests done, plus a ticket on my car, and i was late for work.
If anyone has any idea as to why stupid lazy pieces of..... are in charge of running a simple center where you draw blood and label a pee cup please let me know.
