Hello everyone,

How are you doing today?

Let's talk about a topic that everyone is familiar with: waiting at medical visits.

How do you pass your time in waiting? Do you read the magazines offered in the lobby? Listen to music? Read a book?

Let's share!

Take care.

Lizzi from the Carenity team

I spend my time in a waiting room in the past reading Magazines but that has changed since covid there are less around. I find people watching very interesting, how they converse, what they read, types of news paper/ magazine they read, observing their awareness of their surroundings and other people around them, observing others level of stress., mannerisms and response to waiting times.
