Subject: RE: BS: Good News
Becca... "go sit down..."
My aunt was at the radiology dept of our local hospital a while back. Been lots of stuff in the newspapers about wait times for everything. A doc came in with her daughter who had a broken ankle and made a real pain of herself LOUDLY about having to wait for service, even asking the receptionist, "Do you know who I am?" The response was, "Yes, and so do most of the other people who have been sitting here waiting patiently for their turn."
I have been to that doc's clinic with my aunt and with my mum... while there, I have seen other patients, who had to drive five hours to her clinic, wait for over six hours.
