Time Is a Social Construct
To be fair, how we feel time passing is highly subjective. That being said, we can probably all agree that five minutes does not represent a “long” period of time. According to the doctor, those five minutes felt like an eternity to them.
So, if a five-minute visit is long, what is a brief one? Thirty seconds? After all, time and the need to pay for required services are social constructs.
