Waited 120 minutes (720 seconds) for surgeon to arrive; after nurse finished. Doc was well prepared and reassuring re: my path forward. I forgot and left my wallet in the exam room right at office closing time. Received a call this morning advising me where I might pick up during office hours today. Retrieved today; all was accounted for. Praise GOD!
