care adding up to $51 billion. the study's authors say time waits can go down if physicians do things like exams over the phone or even via computer. that's the wave of the future right there, i guess. let's see what people are saying. danielle posted on facebook "only 121 minutes? more like two to three hours. yes, it's frustrating." marie wrote "amazing how they can constantly overbook and make us wait while if i'm late, i get penalized. go figure." a number of ways to comment. web site, twitter, facebook. love to hear from you. you don't have to wait with us, right, guys? still to come, cause for concern for wine loversp. >> uh-oh, why the weather this year could mean fewer bottles next spring.
