Adventure`s Of The Waiting Room, Yes He Said it!

If you had not noticed this week is doctor appointment week, difference? it was my check up. I go every three months for diabetes and hormone refills, if I need those refilled. I was first, this clinic runs from Noon till 9 pm but the first appointment is actually called back at 12:30 and has the best doctor! I arrived at 12:15 and the waiting room was filling up. I signed in and sat down. On the other side of this long waiting room was a woman and a set of twins, little kids about 3 years old. They were playing as you would expect that age to do and the mother told them to settle down, they did somewhat and the next thing I know she was whooping some azz! I mean those slaps on the butt was loud. Everyone hushed and stared at her. The kids cried but not loud and when one said something she yelled at it and told her one more word and early bedtime. The little kid said " Can we talk this out?" She said "No and there now you have an early bedtime," the child wept softly. But that was not the end, then she began to nag those poor little kids, I mean they had done as told and was still and said nothing and she continued to talk loudly to them in an ugly voice. I said to Tony " Man, what a b*tch, they already did what she told them to do." Tony said in a louder than normal voice " You need to shut up" while looking toward her across the room. A minute later the room went very quiet. I got called back and the nurse was getting my numbers and I asked 'Is another doctor in today to help My doc" She said " Its Thursday, Dr. Randolph is here, and Thursdays are always busy." I shook my head and said " that explains a lot! the crazy woman yelling at those little kids." She said " It has been loud out there." I knew that I seen the local psychiatrist photo on the wall this year but I haven`t seem him in this office, till today. As I checked out I seen Dr. Randolph I thanked him for holding the door open for me. I know this doctor from court, he is the Dr. that determines if someone is sane or not, or if they need to be court ordered to stay a week or a month. I have went to several of these courts when people I know went off their medication and was either harming themselves or a threat to others. The outcome was always good, usually one week in and then they were back on medication and back at home. One more waiting room this week, unless she calls and cancels, until next week. I hope its boring and quiet and I can read. How about you, got any waiting room adventures to share?
