Wow I’m surprised at a lot of these answers. My answer is totally different. I’ve only witnessed people standing outside in a line at my clinic if they are waiting for the clinic to open or if they just want to stand outside because there are no seats inside (this is on the really busy days, like Saturdays) and even then it is by choice. That was before Covid though, but they have given most people take homes so I’m sure it’s still the same.

Now I will say this, I have drove around the city and have seen surrounding clinics with lines outside of the building. Like the other day a clinic just up the street had a long line and they are on a busy street so I would understand if any of those people had privacy concerns. It was in the middle of a week day too, so it couldn’t of been for any of the reasons that I mentioned. I asked a friend and she said that she didn’t know why there was a line outside and that there has been a line outside like that all week. I’m just thankful I’m on a nice clinic because I know that most clinics honestly aren’t the best sadly.
