  Speaker 3: how long do you give it before you go up
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: to the desk? Like, excuse me, it's just whim. Do
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: you think the doctor is going to see me? Because
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the receptionist basically it can be very uncomfortable for them.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I try not to be, you know, nasty about it,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: but if I've got something to do and I'm squeezing
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it in, I might inquire.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But if you know.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm okay, I map some time out. We Our doctor's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: office has wait times. Oh, a lot of board really
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: tells you each doctor and how many minutes when you
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: walk in, how how late they're running.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: That's high tech.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So no, it's not. It's a whiteboard.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: It's not. Oh they just come in and write it and.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Then they erase it and they update.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: But still that, you know, every office needs that. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: feel like with my doctors though, I know the ones
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: that run late. So I know I have to give
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: myself like, Okay, if my appointment's at one, I can't
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: do anything else.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's going to be me today, right, Yeah, maybe
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: maybe dinner exactly, plan a little treat for yourself. Yeah.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Doctors and receptionists are saying, you know, please that sometimes
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: they don't know they're going to be spending a lot
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of time with a certain patient and that kind of
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: then you have the domino effects. One person takes a
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: little longer and then the days running a little later.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Some doctors are saying we should put up signs that
• 2:07

• 2:10
  Speaker 3: be medical emergency requirement time.
