why do doctors
do that thing where they schedule
four people for one time slot?

this morning i went to
a doctor's appointment
that i had scheduled
3 months ago.
3 months ago
i scheduled an appointment
for this morning
at 9:00am.

i got there at 8:40
and there were 4
people there already.

at 9:15 i said (to the other
3 people who hadn't been called back yet)
"do all doctors do this?
schedule 4 people for 9:00am?
she's only got 2 rooms."

to which one lady replied
"my appointment is for 9:15"...

she got called back before me.
