In the healthcare industry I have seen through my own eyes how long it can take for a doctor to tend to a patient. Patients often spend 30+ minutes just to see a doctor to get a simple prescription. Such as a case for an asthma patient who simply wants to refill a prescription but needs doc authorization. Wait times are often too long, and doctors seem to rush through when there is high traffic.
