You're not paying for the "time" you were "seen" - you are paying for diagnostic services, IE "is this finger broken or not?" - information you needed and could not get on your own. So, you required professional services. To provide the sevices that anyone, at any time, needs to be available, requires massive amounts of resources on behalf of the facility.

Since the finger wasn't broken, maybe you feel your "time" was wasted, IE "they didn't do anything!" The truth is: a team of professional healthcare providers coordinated to provide you with the answer you needed: the finger isn't broken. In hindsight, with the answers provided by the facility via their technological infrastructure and staff of trained professionals, you have the luxury of saying "I waited around for two hours, and they didn't do anything!"

On the flipside, what if the finger had been broken? Would your "time" have been "wasted" then? Hindsight is 20/20.

I would never try to alpha cellarite anyone, I'm a black sheep! But that was funny enough for the Hall of Fame.
