Comments on: How Long Is Long Enough? http://thethinpinkline.com/2010/02/08/how-long-is-long-enough/ Four Women For Women Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:47:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Juliana http://thethinpinkline.com/2010/02/08/how-long-is-long-enough/comment-page-1/#comment-22355 Juliana Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:49:15 +0000 http://thethinpinkline.com/?p=3781#comment-22355 Time Management is important, it is an indicator of professionalism and a matter of credibility. I agree with Carol in factoring in excess time and be on time. Though, sometimes I also have to value the importance of a relationship and the reason for the wait, while making the decision to call it a day. If I need the job, I will wait. If the doctor is a good doctor and I trust the doctor more than other doctors I will wait. But, from my end, I make it a point to be on time.

My rule when waiting for an MD or DDS appointment is the time it takes me to skim a magazine. After that I leave and if it happens twice (after complaining to the MD/DDS) I find another care provider. My time is valuable and I do not tolerate people who waste it.
