i guess i don't really mind the waiting room. i don't really wonder about other people and i bring a book or i have my phone. the only time it drove me crazy was when there was this one lady that was overly talkative and it was hard to get out of a conversation with her. so i just put in my earbuds and ignored her. she stopped talking to me. that was like a period of a month when i had my appt at a certain time. then i moved to another day for other reasons and it was all good again.
