Honestly, I don' go to doctor's much but when I do I bring something to read. Emergency room is terrible and they really try to make family members uncomfortable so we leave. My 87 year old Dad with altizheimers was in emergency room through the night, they had no bed available for him so we had to wait and I slept next to him in a little folding chair. I really did it to help my Dad, but also their life was easier with my presence. Hey what can we do other than vent and complain.
