I was in the urgent care waiting room yesterday when an elderly couple shuffled in. The woman reached to take a number from the number dispenser thing and said VERY loudly and grumpily, "The G.D. numbers are all out! I have an urgent case - I need a number!" The man with her shuffled over to a seat and sat down. Someone came out to help the woman, got her a number, and brought her to the counter. She was obviously hard of hearing and practically shouted so everyone in the waiting room got to hear all of the details of a leaky catheter of the man with her (I think he was her husband? She called him "Honey".) Some nurses tried to move them to a more discreet location but we could still hear the lady squawking on about the guy leaking all over himself.
I felt bad for the poor guy.
Then there was some drama because there were 3 Chads and 2 Jennifers waiting. One of the Chads was obviously feeling miserable and didn't want to wait.
I was glad to leave...
Re: Adventures at urgent care.
Poor guy.
Are you not feeling well?
I wasn't yesterday but now I'm doing okay. :-)
