Are those the sisters that fucked Nazis?

Dianne was married to Oswald Mosley and there was another one who was friends with Hitler.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Bitch got balls. I wouldn't dare friendzone Hitler.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Has anyone ever had their doctor be ready to see you on the scheduled time? I'm now 14 minutes late and counting.

Yeah, they seem to usually be aiming for the 30 minutes mark.

Edit: 26 minutes and I got to go to the other room!

Try coming in 5 minutes late. Then he was ready for you right on time, but of course he's a busy man and can't be expected to wait.
Make a new appointment please. Oh, and here's the bill.

I went to see my GI doctor and only had to wait 5 minutes.  Actually it was his PA (I just needed new prescriptions plus blood work), and she's always prompt.

My doctor is usually a 5 min wait at most. Of course, the earlier in the day the less likely you have to wait long.

It's the other patients going over their allotted time that makes for the wait. Which is why they smack you down for being late, as that tends to make all the later appointments late as well.

Yes, Korea is awesome like that. Often you just show up without an appointment and wait ten minutes.

QuoteAnother paper published in The American Journal of Managed Care in May (authored by some very masochistic doctors) used survey data from 9,945 patients in 44 outpatient clinics to study wait times. On average, patients said they spent a total of 38 minutes waiting — 23 of them in the aptly titled waiting room and another 15 minutes in the exam room.

Yeah, I always have to wait; the reason is mostly that the Spanish Health Service imposes a maximum visit length in order to cram more visits per day, and doctors naturally spend more time with their patients if necessary; result is long waiting times.
