Why give up on the search engine merely because a 
rogue util has gone goofy?

I went looking for duckduckgo search syntax and 
found what I need, which is not all that much.

https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntax/

WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW is why every doctor's 
office in the country wants me to show up fifteen 
minutes early. Why not just push all the appts back 
fifteen minutes? Gets me there at the same time No 
good? Hmm...those bastards are up to something.

How do you know that's not already the case? What's the difference
between "Your appointment is at 1430, please arrive 15 minutes early"
and "Your appointment is at 1415, there will be a fifteen minute waiting
period before the doctor sees you"? Nothing measurable.

You need to be there 15 minutes early so you get a good dose of whatever 
is hanging about!

WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW is why anybody is making appointments at 
every doctor's office in the country?
