I have a fun question for you! What's a healthcare stigma you think is warranted or not? 🤔 For example, I listened to a 1950s radio show on Spotify that joked about outdated magazines in the doctor's office. It's still relevant 70 years later, which made me laugh! 😂 What other healthcare stereotypes are out there?

I remember another stock joke was that doctors had terrible handwriting, and anything they wrote was difficult to decipher. I guess it was based on how they wrote prescriptions, but it's odd that it became a standard joke. Of course today no one has good handwriting, we're all texting away on little keyboards.

I always joke with pharmacists that they must have been trained in hieroglyphics in order to decipher what these doctors are prescribing

Oh no way, what's the radio show called? The idea of listening to something from the 50s on Spotify sounds really fascinating. One stigma that still holds true for us is the long wait time when visiting the doctor. No matter what we do to try and lower the wait times, the average person is still waiting at least 25 minutes.

The radio show is Dragnet. The TV show started off as a radio show, starting in 1949 through about 1957. I really enjoyed it a lot. And I like to hear about things on there and how they are different from today, but, um, in answer to your statement about having to wait, I can see how that happens. Yes, just a few people being a little bit late puts the doctor way behind by the end of the day.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).
