My family doctor, while great, has one fatal flaw for a knitter. He's on time. Seriously. Son's appointment was for 3:15, and we were in the examining room at 3:15. Since school lets out at 2:55, by the time I collected child, herded him into the car and drove to the office, I had no time to knit. I mean, really! What are doctor's waiting rooms for anyway? I used to be able to knock off half a sock waiting for doctor's appointments. By the way, this doctor also limits his practice enough that I called for this appointment yesterday. Yup - a 24 hour turn around. I could have seen him earlier, but I didn't want to take Son out of school. And he's a nice guy. And no, I'm not telling you his name - I don't need him to get more patients!
So while I did not get much knitting done there, I did have time between that, making dinner and getting to basketball practice to finish one fingerless mitt, and start another one.
Plus, I dug around in my Wellington Fibres stash to come up with some wool/mohair blends to make more. Between beaded bracelets and these, I may have Christmas in the bag...

It's the same for me at my dentist's office. They have all these amazing current trash magazines in the waiting room and I can never get into a good read of People. They're always on time. I think only once in the 18 years I've been going there, have they ever been late and I really enjoyed that day.
Strangely enough, I do know how much crap can come out of a kids ears. Its an issue for one of my now grown kids. Not a pretty thing. Your sons hearing will be a wee bit sensitive. If he seems a little off today, its because he probably has a headache, though he might not say anything. Quiet surroundings and lowered volumes will help.
I wish my doctor was even close to that! Lst time he was an hour late and I had to leave before even seeing him. The time before that they claimed I didn't have an appointment! Turned out the idiot nurse scheduled it for the day before.
I "complained" to my Chiropractor just last week about his persistent promptness - even when I arrive early I still get right in and get no knitting done as a consequence!
My husband has the ear thing and last spring I seriously thought about introducing the idea of hearing aids! Then in a routine check up they found huge blockages and immediately after that his hearing was right back to normal!
