Televisions in waiting rooms are becoming more and more common around here. They're usually tuned to CNN or playing some kind of family friendly movie from a DVD.
Every Doc-in-the-Box facility has them. Usually two of them in the outer waiting room and some places have one in each exam room. My ophthalmologist's office has 2: one in the outer waiting room and one in the interior waiting room (where they put you after they put the drops in your eyes to dilate them.)
Guess it's all supposed to make the wait more bearable. I'd rather they just supplied cots so we could all just take a nap while waiting.
