Do you take a book to read at doctor's appointments?

[nikki_p]

Absolutely! But honestly, I carry a book with me wherever I go. I actually have a dentist appointment on Monday, so I'll make sure not to forget my book that day ahah.

I've always taken a book, there's no reason not to!

[Tianarenee3]

if im at the doctor's, im sure to be pretty anxious and nervous, two conditions i dont want myself to be if im reading. at the doctor's, i refrain from bringing the book, but i do flip aimlessly at photographic picture magazines scattered on coffee tables in waiting rooms.

I don't do this but I have seen others do it. I don't spend much time in the doctor's office so it doesn't usually occur to me to bring a book. Now that I have kids I usually spend my time keeping them entertained when I have to go in.

If I am going to be anywhere that I have to wait, I take a book. It's a lot easier now that I can read on my phone.

[Headbanginghunny]

I always bring a book to places I think I am going to have to wait at. Some examples are the doctor's office, dentist's office, mechanic, and hair salon. I feel like I should empower my mind a little instead of forcing myself to look at the boring magazines or TV. I'm sometimes excited to go and read if I'm reading a good book and hope they take longer!

[Alexsandra]

Yes I have,it's always a wait so I go ready for it,lol.

When I'm in the waiting room at the dentist.... I always have a book to read while I wait. Very relaxing and the time flies by

[salberson 10]

Of course! I did even before I got my nook.

[MamaBookAddict]

Always! Seems to make the wait quicker. And Ive noticed that just when I get to a good part, I get called back or the doctor comes in. LOL

[sflaherty42]

It's good for passing the time because I find the magazine selections really boring.

[anabigbookfan]

Yes definitely! What a way to make the waiting times feel like a breeze. Whenever I forget my book and I had to read a magazine it always depressed me a bit that I'm using this free time to read junk about celebrities rather than indulge in a well written book

[toshilou]

Of course! I do lots of waiting at the doctors office and I'd much rather spend all that time working on my book rather than staring at a wall!!

[RobertManchester]

YES!!! I'd rather read one of my books than to sit and be lulled into the TV, or read one of the many boring magazines laying around in the office.

I guess it's down to why you have gone if it's something that reading makes worse bad head or eye issue then no but if you have a bad knee or something then yes it any book as to be better than what they supply in a waiting room

[clara7733]

Most of the time I do.Reading a book make the time pass quickly.
