Aint waiting at the Doctors a joy....
Firstly, you approach your 10 am appointment with the knowledge that your 11am and possibly 11.30 am appointments must be cancelled.
Next comes those first steps into the reception.... the packed waiting room feel obliged to take their noses out of their out of date readers digest or house and garden to give you a good looking over and try to establish what you are there for. If you dont produce a nasty cough you are in trouble at this stage and if you are male, pregnancy is already ruled out .....
You have to declare your name at reception and then proceed to try and find a germ free chair or space.... People are odd...they alternate between checking you out - wondering what the heck you are there for, checking their watch, reading, and no one dares talk or try to have a convo. The first Q probably would be "Umm what brings you here?" Not like a pub where the crap flows freely....
Next up - is the DOCTOR ... announcing your name to the whole waiting room
- privacy in its glory..... I might test it one day and strike up a convo or infact when the Doctor calls my name and everyone stares yet again say " Oh by the way fellow crew... Im here for a pap smear" or whatever!!
