My biggest pet peeve is patients quoting advice from friends, relatives,
and even strangers on the internet that is absolutely ridiculous and the
people that continue to give that advice when it is pointed out that
they are wrong to do so(especially aspersions about endangering others
lives).

Out in the boonies, I am quite busy and often somewhat overbooked. I
still try to keep waiting time to a minimum and I certainly want to
get the treatment completed in a reasonable amount of time.

Molar root canals are usually completed (start to finish) in an hour.

However, if your treatment is well done, and you aren't having any
complications, an extra hour isn't much in the whole scheme of things.

Best wishes,
Fawks
