"Dear Mamas,
I am a medical person and recently had an office visit with my primary doctor. While sitting in the waiting room, there was a gentleman who was tapping his watch and getting everyone worked up. I wanted to explain how things can cause a delay but I would have been carried off to walk the plank. I know you both have insight into this so can you explain to people that a little patience can go a long way?" - Listener Submission

Familiar with the medical field, the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, both had quite a lot to say about this on "What Would Mama Do?" Emergencies do happen, and things come up. Being impatient won't help hurry anything along, it will only spoil the mood of everyone around you! It's important to be considerate of those around you in the waiting room and working in the office, and empathetic to the person in the slot ahead of yours. Great insight from the Mamas!
