That’s Not Something You Think Every Day #15
Recap of my doctor’s appointment this morning:
Me: I rush to get there at 9:25 a.m. which is 15 minutes earlier than my scheduled appointment of 9:40 a.m.
Me: 9:30 a.m. I fill out paperwork as instructed.
Me: 9:33 a.m. I get weighed. I’ve lost 4 pounds since last time.
Me: 9:35 a.m. Blood pressure taken…good at 104/68
Me: 9:40 a.m. My actual appointment time. Waiting for doctor.
Me: 9:41 a.m. to 10:05 a.m. Still waiting for doctor. And waiting. I say “hi” to one of my former piano students, stare at the wall, return texts, stare at the wall some more, check Facebook….
Me: 10:06 a.m. I text a friend, “Hey, can we FaceTime today?”
Friend: 10:09 a.m. “Indeed, I could do a 5-minute call at 10:25.”
Me: 10:10 a.m. Text friend back, “If the freaking doctor ever shows up, I could be done by then. I’ve been sitting here since 9:30!! Erg.” I hit send. The door opens within seconds. Finally.
Me: 10:20 a.m. I am sitting in my car out in the parking lot, which makes my appointment EIGHT MINUTES LONG. Eight minutes for the doctor to say, “Yes, the MRI confirms you have a tear and all the other problems we’ve discussed. Keep doing exercises. See you in a month.”
Me: Thinking of the third $350 bill he is going to send me and the sentiments displayed in this meme.
