Pittsburgh Tuesday wait is 62 min. Every other day this site sits at roughly 21 min.
That's a 40.66666666666667-minute gap on Tuesdays — concentrated at the 11:00–12:00 check-in band.
The synth cause is a template default that over-books the Tuesday 11am slot. Real-world Pittsburgh
specialty hospitals see this same pattern after a board-certified hire whose Tuesday block was
replicated from a different rotation. The fix is redistribute the block across Wednesday and Thursday
and free a 30-minute mid-morning gap; that recovers roughly
$27.7K
of revenue across the window at a conservative 5% bail-rate × $385 specialty consult fee.

What this looks like in your stack today.
Wait-time-by-day-of-week is a basic operational chart but it lives nowhere in most PMSes by default.
Cornerstone and AVImark have wait-tracking fields that are inconsistently populated; ezyVet exposes
them via API only. BluWave/Reflexion publish weekly aggregates that wash out day-of-week patterns.
The two queries here join
visits.wait_minutes against
strftime('%w', visit_date) and average — port both to your own warehouse
