Whew! As a physician, I was amazed most by how 'the trains all run on time at Mayo'. At each of the appointments, we got in a line to check-in and they told us to sit in the waiting room and in every case we never had to wait more than 5 minutes before being called.
And just for fun:
Hottest Mary Beth has ever experienced.
