A Time Saver

Still blooming along a walkway


Husband M had to do a routine blood test the other day.  I remembered I had an app loaded onto my phone which allowed us to check in at the lab and in fact see what the wait times were like at any given time.  The app told us it was a 45 minute wait time.  M checked in and we waited for awhile and went to the lab.  Upon arrival it was super busy, but we looked at the check in screen and M's name was at number 1!  So he went right in for his test!  The technician told us that not a lot of people use this facility but I am sure it won't be long before people realize what a time saver this is.

  1. That is so cool! I wish they had that at doctor's offices here. Then again... so far... our wait times haven't been too bad.

  2. That app is a great idea. We always get appointments at the doc's here, so don't have to wait much. Love the last of the flowers! Hugs, Valerie

  5. These summer flowers are really hanging on this year. I did not know there was a phone app for that. I've used a website to schedule here which was pretty convenient, but having the app on the go is great.

  7. I use an app to check in for haircuts at a walk-in salon. You're right-it's a great time saver.

  8. Now Republicans told me that blood tests in Canada take 14 days of wait time and you have to stay in the office at the same time while constantly praying a picture of Mao Zedong. Do you think they were lying to us?

    1. Sometimes there is no wait at this lab, it just depends when everyone decides to show up.

  14. i wish they had an app like that here, not that it would make a big difference to us with travel time but we could know there was a wait time at the hospital and go get something to eat until the wait had gone down :p
