Sometimes when a parent is trying to fit in all the appointments for their kids and themselves they are lucky to just be in the room. Some parents don't go to the doctor when they need to because it's so hard to find the time for yet another appointment when they have so many for their kids.

I'm reading jeannie gaffigans book right now about how she almost didn't go to the doctor after losing all her hearing in one ear... she was worn out from kids appointments.

So maybe some patience for your patients who are just lucky they were able to show up... and maybe add some toys in your dr.s room!

Speaking of which, I'm a year behind on well child appts for my kids, but I'm just glad I got the dentist scheduled for tomorrow and we got to the Orthodontist yesterday. As for myself?
