time in system (average, min) 24.24
patients in the building (average) 4.85
 
To explore this model, try a couple of types of changes
1. The system arrival rate is in cell C15, patients/min arriving at the sign-in table - gradually increase this toward 0.315789
2. Add servers in cell E18 (these correspond to additional doctors)
NOTE: negative residence time means that utilization (rho) exceeds 1; that is, the queue is unstable
