I guess no one has respect.

To tell, you the truth is have people gotten just plain rude or just don’t care?

There have been so many times I go into doctors appointments and I’m struck with the strangest looks and comments. I have seen it all as well as heard it all.

From you know your appointment is at this time. Yes, I have technology that reminds me. Funny I’m disabled physically and have PTSD, but I do know how to write downtimes. To the rudest one to boot. Which was why do you come here so early is there something at home you running from or who are you hiding from?

Let me make something clear. No, I am not hiding from anyone. No there is no reason for me to run from if that was the case I wouldn’t be hiding at a place that brings me pain. Not that kinda person.

It does get a bit loud at my house at times but it is managed, with my hearing issues. I leave early not only for traffic but for parking. Also sometimes depending on the doctor, get in early seen then leave. Society doesn’t realize that. There would be less stress if people would be at an appointment with whomever 10 mins early.

Bring a book or do what I do, which is do a blog (which is what I’m typing now at an appointment ). If you have kids add another 5 mins per child to your travel. Also, bring them something to do as well. That will not only kill the stress for you but the other people around you.

I guess it is a decent upbringing by both of my parents. My dad is in the military and with the saying if you are 30 mins early your right on time.

Believe it or not, you can get stuff done in that short amount of time. Also, the doctors will love you as well as their staff. Little secret its because they don’t have to worry about you being delayed.

I didn’t understand why at the time we were always waiting until I started taking care of my dad. The drive from the house to the Veterans Administration. Getting a parking spot. If you know you understand the trouble. Then finding the appointment location. If you’re new to the place you are in a panic. Well because of the lack of doctors and the wait for an appointment. You don’t want to go through that again. So that’s why you’re early.

I know a lot of people match the energy that you give off so why not give off good energy. Not only it will help you it will help others. It’s contagious. You will be surprised at what you will get back.
