How long should you wait for a doctor?

Well, this is where you screwed up. He's obviously asking where on the knees is the pain and you said "in my knees". He just wants confirmation and you wanted to get an attitude with him, now you're stuck with knee pain and an extra trip. If a plumber asks you where your bathroom is so he can fix a broken pipe, are you gonna say "in my house"?

X-rays are typically conducted by a different team than the bone doctor, and it's more than likely that while you were getting those X-rays patients came in for general consulting and you had to wait. Yes, it sucks, but it's common for doctors offices with one doctor to take a while to get through a backlog of patients.

Oh and the x-rays were done right in his office and were sitting right there for him to look at not three feet away.

I had one doctor who always ran 30-45 minutes late for appointments so I learned to adjust.

The longest I ever waited was around an hour and a half at my regular doctor. It was the end of the day and I just wanted to go home. It was when I first developed high blood pressure and it was a monitoring visit. About 40 minutes in a nurse came in to tell me that the delay was because a woman had gone into active labor and my doctor was delayed. That was OK.

I was at the cardiologist the other day for a long postponed checkup and I got right in at the appointed time, which is typical for that practice. My couple other specialists are the same.

My family and I were recently banned from a local dentist office because one of the dentists didn’t like my attitude. Not sure why my whole family was banned because of my actions.
