A doctor's time is apparently more important than yours. They overload their schedules, so you end up waiting 30 minutes in the big waiting room, then another 30 minutes in the small waiting room.
a) if there's one person on the planet I don't want rushing through his work it's my doctor.
b) there is a growing shortage of both primary and specialty care physicians in the US
c) diagnosing cancer and explaining the prognosis to a patient isn't the same as telling a mother her child's tonsils need to come out, and one is going to take a hell of a lot longer than the other
No one is questioning that. We're just saying, manage your fucking time better.
I can understand 5 minutes late but nothing beyond that.
I schedule 15 minutes per patient (which is VERY generous, and I'm lucky I can get away with that), and I usually run on time, sometimes ahead of time; however, there is no way for me to predict how long any given patient is going to take. Some take 3 minutes, some take 30. Some patients have 3 different rashes and 4 skin cancers, others just have 1 spot and 1 easy problem. To expect your doctor to never run more than 5 minutes late is ridiculous; frankly I'm surprised the practice puts up with that behavior. You have *much* more control of being on time for your appointment than your provider. |

| bogus tequila article. There are no agavins (the health promoting sugars) in the finished product (tequila) since they are all converted to ethanol. The author of the article didn't read the source article. |

Thanks for this! I'd never even heard of Dragon's Dogma. I'm definitely going to pick it up!
So glad I could convince you. Although, I REALLY HOPE you got Dragon's Dogma: DARK ARISEN, not the original release.
Yep, I ordered Dark Arisen. Thanks! The graphics and aliasing (compared to my high-end PC) might be a little annoying, but the game play looks fun. |

A very good point. I don't understand why games don't copy Dragon's Dogma! (Probably because it is very hard to implement.) But Dragon's Dogma had the most sublime, most perfect combat ever. I'm not exaggerating. It has ruined all other RPG combat.
Thanks for this! I'd never even heard of Dragon's Dogma. I'm definitely going to pick it up!
Just went on Amazon and it will be delivered to my house TONIGHT for a grand total of only 22 bucks! That's instant gratification on a scary level.

| I find the combat in DA extremely unsatisfying. No matter what class or how powerful the spell or ability or weapon I'm using, it just feels ridiculous at level 20 to still have to hit enemies (even relatively weak ones) over and over and over again before they go down. |

Once one accepts Fox's false premise that all competing news sources are "liberal", then one is effectively brainwashed.
It's scary how many gullible fools are in our country. |

Blue,
I'm a PA in New York. You don't need to have blood drawn at the doc's office. Have them mail you a script for whatever standard blood work you get taken, and then you can go to any local lab (Quest, Bioreference, etc) on any morning you want to have the blood taken. And then you can be more flexible with making your doctor appointment. |

"The last 20 minutes feel like an hour because Peter Jackson "didn't wish to let his saga go". "
I have to admit that I agree with this criticism, but otherwise I thought the movie was absolutely awesome. I do wonder why Jackson cut out some really great moments from the book, however, such as Gandalf's brief confrontation with the Witch-King and the confrontation with Saruman where Gandalf breaks Saruman's staff and casts him out of the order of Wizards (actually this last scene should have been in the TTT). Oh well, I loved how Jackson did the battle of the Pelennor fields!!
