I’m getting a cyst on my finger surgically removed tomorrow so I had a pre-op appointment with my doctor today. I paid $20 to sit in the waiting room for 90 minute!

I must have watched two dozen patients who got there after me walk in and get taken care of. I felt invisible. I wanted to wave my arms or jump up and down just to let them know I’m here, I’m here, I’m here! After waiting for 90 minutes I finally asked for my medical card back and left.

Here’s a novel idea. What if doctors paid us to sit in their waiting rooms? Talk about health care reform. It would revolutionize the medical industry

I can think of so many ways I’d rather spend $20 or 90 minutes

Thanks for letting me hyperventilate

PS. These kinds of circumstances are why I never go anywhere without a book. The 90 minutes wasn’t wasted.
