WiFi waiting room at the doctor's

By at 12:49 pm Friday, May 7

Jason's doctor has open WiFi in his waiting room to make those long waits less insufferable.
He has figured out that a lot of his patients (and their partners) spend a heck of a lot of time waiting around in his lobby. While pop-cult magazines and baby toys are still popular for minding the time, he realized there's an unlimited resource of entertainment he can make available with a simply $30 WiFI AP -- The Internet. Now I can work/surf/play online all I want while I wait for Tara to finish her appointment. There's even an abundance of power outlets near the seating area.

Anyway, I know I'm being nerdy, but I still think its pretty cool. If I decide at some point to consider switching doctors, I'll definitely inquire about wireless access in the waiting room.
