Waitng Time

Today, I went to the dentist at 9:30 a.m. to have the extraction site disinfected.
Since the treatment was just disinfection, it was supposed to take only a few minutes.

However, the previous patient’s treatment ran long, so it wasn’t until 9:45 that it was finally my turn.
Even then, the dentist was still busy with something else, so I had to wait in the chair.
If I had been in the waiting room, I could have used my smartphone, so I wish they hadn’t called me in so early.

A few minutes later, the dentist came over and quickly checked and disinfected the area.

I had already prepaid for today’s treatment and booked my next appointment, so I just needed to get my patient card to leave.
But right after my treatment finished, the receptionist stepped away, so I had to wait a few more minutes.

Of course, there have been days when I was seen earlier than my appointment time, so I understand that delays happen depending on the previous patient.
Still, I wish I could leave right away after the treatment.


今日は抜歯部位の消毒のために歯医者に行きました。
予約時間は9:30。
処置は消毒だけなので、数分で終わる見込みでした。

しかし、前の患者の治療が長引いたため、45分になってようやく私の番が回ってきました。
が、まだ歯医者は別の作業をしているため、私は治療台の上で待ちぼうけ。
待合室であればスマホを弄れるので、治療台で待たされるくらいならまだ呼ばないでほしかったです(笑)。

数分後、歯医者が私の元に来て、患部の経過観察及び消毒を一瞬で終えました。
今回の治療費は既に前払いしており、次回の予約も済んでいたため、あとは診察券を受け取れば帰宅できるのですが、私の治療が終わったタイミングで丁度受付が不在に。
また数分待たされてしまいました。

勿論、日によっては予約時間より早く治療を受けられる時もあり、前の客の治療状況で待ち時間が発生するのは諦めるしかありません。
とはいえ、治療後はさっさと帰らせてほしいのですが……
