I'm assuming it's 90 billable hours. He said he waited two hours to do a ten minute procedure, sounds like most of his day is spent waiting rather than working.

That's two hours that he can't be off with his family, reading a book, having a drink, learning to juggle rings, so on and so forth. It's definitely 'work', even if it is standing there twiddling your thumbs because you're waiting on colleagues.
