However when you're desperate and suffering, you just need to inhale slowly and be patient. \n\nFor an indication of the wait: on a Friday, I arrived at 8:20am, and was put in a room (still waiting for a doctor) by 9:45am. \n\nFellow patients were nice, not nagging the staff, and we all know we mutually benefit from happy clinic staff who have our lives (well, schedules) in their sanitized hands. \n\nI ended up having *a very positive experience* because my doctor (and older gentleman), after having asked me whether or not I had health insurance, gave me samples of what otherwise would be a very very expensive prescription. He also wrote me a prescription in case I ran out when I told him how difficult it was for me to take off work, so that I wouldn't need to make a return trip.\n\nAll I can advise is arrive early and bring a snack/bevvy so you don't become that gnarly monster whose sighs are overtly loud and who harasses the staff to everyone's dismay. Hopefully you'll get my thoughtful doctor!"^^ . .
