Karma in Retrospect

    I had a medical appointment this past Monday scheduled for 11:30.  The doctor walked into the room at exactly 12:30.  When I'd checked to see if  I was forgotten, the staff explained that "He is running a little late."  I was on the verge of being irritated enough to say I would reschedule, but then I remembered:   at my last visit with this doctor, he was concerned about my  scheduled surgery, and that perhaps it should be postponed. He made 3 telephone calls to the surgeon's offices while I was there, and waited each time until he received the information he was looking for.  I don't know if a patient had to wait during this time, but I felt I should extend  the benefit of the doubt.  ***I did  just read online that a patient was very indignant after waiting 3 hours at the Troy Eye Docs only to find that the doctors had all left, forgetting this patient.  So you gotta ask!
