Al chooses not to bash the doctors (for once)

Well, I'm happy that today's strip doesn't bash the medical world--just a patient! I actually have mixed feelings about it. At first I was thought, "Yeah, that's stupid of Dizzia." And I still do kinda feel that way. She's true that a doctor who has to see all these patients (I'd hope that that's actually a practice with a few other doctors) probably won't spend much time with each one (which is why you need to be assertive when you go to the doctor, but that's another story)--although that's more of a slam on the health care system in the United States than anything else. As for why there aren't any patients at the second doctor's office, well, that looks like a much smaller practice. I've never seen a waiting room like that; the ones I've been to have all been like the ones in the top panel. I mean, there isn't even room for the patients' files! I wonder if that's a specialist. Or is it first thing in the morning? I hate not knowing context!
