The first hour, my daughter got an X-ray. The second hour the doctor looked at the X-rays and said he would send in the cast tech. The third hour my daughter got the cast. The last half hour we spent waiting for the doctor (Sepich) to come and check the cast to see if it was drying and checking out. He never came back, he got busy. So the nurse or aide told us we could go and we spent a good amount of time checking out.
I worked for 30 years in a hospital and doctors do not intimidate or awe me. I asked questions, a lot. Upon leaving the room saying he would send someone to put on the cast he made the remark "maybe you mom wants to put it on".
My doctor is efficient and thorough and I guess I'm just not used to spending 3 1/2 hours on a medical appointment.
At least we won't have to go back for 3 weeks. Or maybe I'll just use my Dremel tool and saw it off. Lol
