I have a couple of chronic conditions and my doctor is really good and will often check how I am with those when I see her about something else. I have learnt to phrase my answers more carefully over time, depending on how on time/late she is running and how things are for me. I suspect that she's aware of this though but accepts that it's what works for me and knows that I'll contact her if anything urgent comes up.

Great advice. The appointment books are set for an allotted time for each person, depending on what they are scheduling for. If one runs long, it throws of the schedule for the rest of the day. 
Still have a great relationship with my doctor. Sunday I went to his house and we cooked chili and played Wii. His wife and I are training for a run.

No wonder my doctor always seems to dislike seeing me. She's very very nice, but always rushing at the speed of lightning (or so it seemed). ...I thought doctors can see you up to 20-25 minutes. ...I am one of those who has like four or five different issues I bring up all the time. It finally makes sense now!!! ...She's probably holding back her frustration that I'm bringing up so many things. LOL. ....This is kind of hilarious in a sad way, because I can still see her face when I'd be bringing up problem after problem and she's trying to give me the hint she needs to get out of there. To think I used to dislike her for rushing me!....I feel bad now. 
It alllll makes sense now!
