Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Because the previous patient is still holding up the doctor with the two hundred and thirty-eighth question about his colon.

But after years of experience they should know the average visit time and schedule accordingly!! My doctor works ON TIME. If you are late, you miss your appointment. And if you need to ask more questions than your allotted time allows, you have to come back or talk to the nurse. She is very rarely keeping me waiting and I appreciate it.

If you think it is bad now; just wait. With ObamaCare, we will have many more patients and fewer doctors.

Mneedle: Funny, I never had that problem in Canada. Of course, they went all the way and kicked out the insurance rip-offs.

Ahh, yes … medical time. I’ve experienced much more of it than I’d care to have been through.
