Title: Waiting Room Blues
Tags: blues, waiting room, frustration
Blog Entry: Okay. Here we are in a doctor's waiting room. We make it 15 minutes early for our appointment. Now comes the appointment time. The nurse calls us back where she takes us into a room sprayed with orange blossoms and says the doctor will be in shortly. So we wait...and wait....and wait...and wait....and wait. No, not 15 minutes; no not 30 minutes; no not 50 minutes; but over an hour! Why in the world call us into the room when all we have to do is wait. We could do that in the "waiting" room. Right? Here I am coughing my lungs out, back hurting from coughing, eyes watering, and having to cross my legs so my bladder doesn't explode! Finally, the doctor makes an appearance, says how ya doin', had any pain lately, and then I'll see you in 6 months! Yikes! I sat for over an hour in the "patient room" for that? And he charges what? I guess when you open the door you have to know that this is called a "waiting room" for some reason. Let's get this straight. When a doctor asks, "Is there something I can do for you today?" is he for real. Does he really think I came to see him because I didn't have anything else to do? And the worst one is, "I hear you're sick...do you know what's wrong?" That is the reason I went to the doctor in the first place....If I knew myself, then I'd be making the big bucks! Okay, this is enough venting for one day. I don't want to rant like EB and TC but I just think I did! LOL
