We live 15 miles from my 92 year old mom now, it takes 30 minutes to get there. Quite a change from less than 4 miles. I try very hard to not complain, since we love our new location. But after 33 years, it does take some getting use to when routine trips all take 20 minutes plus, when before they all took 3-6 minutes. I feel like we moved to another state, not just 17 miles north.
My rant? Our doctors no longer have an in house lab, so if you need blood work, it requires another stop/trip to the locations they use. The one near the doctor's office is close, but it's not terribly handing getting in and out. It's a facility connected to the hospital, and provides lots of services. So you have to figure which of the 6 entrances you need to use, (granted just a first time challenge), register at the touch screen kiosk, sit down, and wait to be called. It can take 5 minutes or 40.
