Yes, this is what I love with the new clinic we are visiting is their free coffee and water. Also, it is located at the top of a mall. so we just have to wait a few minutes for the mall to open. They are also very strict with the time and appointment with patients. We were early yesterday and the doctor was there early as well so we were called earlier.

I'm glad they gave you free water and coffee... Should I guess which one you preferred? I have to leave for the hospital Monday morning, early. But you can still come visit me if you feel like it.

@rakski Yes, I'll have signal but I don't take my phone online. I don't know when they'll install the line to drain spinal fluid. The neurologist will decide that after I get there tomorrow.

Will you have signal at the hospital? When will the time of your procedure?

It is always nice to be called earlier than your appointment time! Big win! And the mall sounds nice!

@rakski They are running the place very well. I lucked up with apt. with thyroid surgeon last month. Appointment was at 2 and we went early and was there for 1 pm, but the 1 pm's were not there yet, so I got in and out quickly! There was a storm brewing and it was raining when we got there, but getting worse. I'm sure that is what made the others late.

@kareng sometimes it's good to be early. I think the one before was not there as well that's the reason we are called in early

Well, the clinic might be strict with timing. Yet the free coffee is worth it. It is another thing that if a patient is stressed, he or she might not enjoy the coffee. I hope that your treatment and follow up went fine.

@rakski Interestingly we have been having rains in the last few days. Yesterday it rained very heavily for a while. We had to go out in the evening. Evening rush, rains and festive times - all made us spent much more time in traffic.

It's great when appointments run to schedule. Free coffee and water sound good too.

Yes, absolutely. In the hospital where we used to check up with the cardio, waiting time can be from 2 hours to four

@rakski I don't think I've ever had to wait for four hours!

That's wonderful. There's a great advantage to come early to an appointment. As what the saying goes early bird catches worms.

I love an organisation that respects times. That coffee is a bonus though

The hmo we have are building their own clinics everywhere. They have specialists there as well except for surgeon, you really need to visit the big hospital. But they have almost complete facilities. X-ray and ECG machines will be arriving soon.
