Dear Abby: Patients don't wait patiently for doctor to see them
DEAR ABBY: Hooray for STEAMED IN STOCKTON, who was tempted to bill his physician SIOO for the two hours he spent cooling his heels in the outer office. Listen to this: I made an appointment for a routine physical six months in advance. When I arrived, the waiting room was packed with patients. An hour later, I was called into an examining room and was told to undress. I did. I sat there unclothed lor 40 minutes until his majesty, the doctor, entered! As soon as I was on the examining table, his telephone rang. The doctor said, "Excuse me," and proceeded to talk to another doctor about a business deal. They talked for 10 minutes, after which he phoned his secretary and asked her to call yet another doctor. 1 lay there seething with resentment while my doctor told the second doctor what the first doctor had told him about their "tax shelter." I was given a very fast examination, after which the doc tor prescribed medication for high blood pressure. Believe me. I know what caused it! STEAMED IN LONG BEACH DEAR STKAMK.D: My mail reflects a great deal of sympathy for STEAMED. Read on: DEAR ABBY: We had a doctor in Falls Church, Va., who never overbooked appointments. We never had to wait

more than five or 10 minutes to see him. He had an excellent practice, and was so conscientious he refused to take a new patient unless he had time. (He referred them to a colleague.) In Florida, it’s another story. My husband had a 2 p.m. appointment. At 4 p.m. he was still waiting. He approached the nurse and asked, "Do I have to wait until the doctor sees all these other people?" (There were about 10 people waiting.) The nurse replied, "You CERTAINLY do.” With that, my husband walked out! STEAMED IN DAYTONA BEACH DEAR ABBY: I gave my doctor a taste of his own medicine a few years back. He used to keep me waiting for hours before 1 could get in to see him. I was plenty annoyed, but I didn’t want to change doctors because I had gone to him for years, he had all my old records and X rays, and I thought 1 might as well live with the devil 1 knew rather than the devil I didn't know. Anyway, when it came time to pay him, I made HIM wait for his money. It never got me in any quicker, but I felt better about hav ing to wait.

Hints from Heloise
DEAR HELOISE: Here’s a hint from a bachelor who is lazy but likes to entertain. When preparing stews, soups, or spaghetti sauce, I cook in large quantities sometimes making up to sixteen quarts. After using what I need the first and sometimes the second night, I ladle graduated amounts in stainless steel double boiler pans, label each one with contents and date and set the pans in freezer. After frozen, I run a little hot water on bottom of pans, slip the contents in freezer bags and return to the freezer chest with proper identification. When I am ready to entertain a guest or two (or many), I take out an appropriate package or two, . return the mold to the double boiler (the fit is perfect since that is what it was frozen in) add some water to the heater pan, set the boiler pan inside and there is really very little else to do except cook some spaghetti or whatever accompaniment one chooses. Believe me when I say I get a lot of raves of how easily I can prepare what would ordinarily be a very complicated
Holzworth home reflects elegance of yesteryear
The rustic motif of the home of Bud and Martha Holzworth, 110 South, Tudor Road, creates an elegance of yesteryear. Martha and Bud’s personalities are reflected throughout this home which will be included on the Mill Creek Tri Kappa Home Tour, from 1-5 daily, Oct. 6 and 7. Bud’s artistic wood working ability is seen in every aspect of the house. This ability definitely shows in the furnishing, lighting fixtures and bulkheads.

Heloise * * * DEAR HELOISE: I find that a large grass or leaf plastic bag is great when you get caught in the rain on the golf course. You can use it to cover your golf cart as well as the clubs. Sure helps to keep them dry. Mrs. P. Zidek * * * You can use those handy bags to help keep yourself dry as well. Just cut a hole in the bag where it is sewn across the bottom and slip it over your head and shoulders. Now you have a poncho that will cover you to your knees. If you want to, you can also cut slits for your arms to stick out.

ed for the same time. When he added two more examining rooms, four appointments were made for the same time. His appointments were booked 15 minutes apart. In my association with other doctors’ receptionists, I learned that they all worked on the same principle —the number of appointments booked for a given time depended on the number of examining rooms the doctor had. I have suffered this fate as a patient. I suppose there are exceptions if you are lucky enough to find a doctor who is more interested in his patients than in their money. Don't use my name. I may have to go back to work again. NO SIG IN N.J. DEAR ABBY: I have a system I use to beat the "waiting game.” I always ask for the first appointment of the day when I want an appointment with a doctor, dentist or beauty operator. I am never kept waiting. It never fails.

granddaughter had just learned how to snap her fingers. Being right-handed she was naturally more facile with the fingers of that hand, but the left hand posed some problems. One day she was busy practicing her new-found ability but after a little while we noticed her eyeing her left hand with discouragement. Finally we asked her what was wrong and she said, holding up her left hand for inspection, ‘‘They won’t work.” “Why not?” we asked and she raised huge, brown eyes, and said sorrowfully “I guess my batteries are dead”!
