As UA says, it isn't all fun and games. I have sat in the waiting room before with some really rank looking people. I would be afraid to get near them for fear my hands would fall off.
Not a fun job being the patient either. Your knees knock and you start sweating in places you didn't think you could sweat in. My doctor knows my H and would always discuss him at the time he is examining me. I had to finally tell him to please not mention him until he was done. Very uncomfortable.
I know what you mean. Relax is not in my vocabulary when I am there. I can tell you how many dots are on the ceiling though if you wanted to know........LOL!!!!
