Recently I have been spending many hours in waiting rooms of Dr.'s offices. We have taken the boys to the dentist, pediatrician, we have gone to the dentist ourselves and other doctors etc and so on... Anyways what I have noticed and what is baffling to me is that no where in the waiting rooms, hallways leading to the individual rooms, or the little room you are worked on in do they have any clocks. Are all doctors offices in like some kind of time warp. I mean I know that some of the doctors that we go to are definitely not what you would call speedy when it comes to how long you have to wait in that little room after you have already waited for ever in the lobby for someone to call your name. But how do they function. Is everyone that works there required to wear a wrist watch. And who cares if the patients know just how long they have been sitting there. I mean odds are they have a watch or cell phone that they have with them and they know exactly how long they have been siting out there anyways. If any of you nurse friends or others that know the answer to this, please let me know.. I'm just curious!

I have also noticed this before. Have you also encountered the little sign that makes no sense in a place without a clock? It says something like, "If you have been waiting for more than 15 minutes, please notify the front desk."
My doctor and my kids' doctor both have clocks in their waiting rooms. Sorry!
