Today...I Had To Go To The Doctor...For a 1230PM Appointment....One Might Say..."So Whats The Big Deal About That?".............Youll Understand After Reading What I Have To Say..........................................................
The Appointment Was For 1230 PM..........I Got There At 12 Noon
"First Thing One Has To Do?...Is Stand In Line"
After 20 Minutes Of Standing In Line?....One Gets A Form To Fill Out
After Another 20 Minutes Of Filling Out The Said Form?
One Stands In Line Again To Give It To The Receptionist
Then Your Told... To Go Sit Down And Wait Til They Call Your Name..(Another 15 Minutes)
Upon Hearing Your Name Being Called...You Go Back Up To The Receptionist
And This Time.... Its About You Have To Pay The "Co Pay" Right Now..Or No Service"
You Pay It..And Again Your Told To Have A Seat
After Another Half Hour Or So...They Call Your Name
And Your Told To Go Around The Corner... And Have A Seat There For X Rays
Theres Five People Ahead Of Me..(Another Half Hour Til Im Called)
I Get The x Ray Part Done...And Yes..Im Told To Have A Seat Once More
After Another 45 Minutes...They Call My Name...
Im Led To A Room..Told To Undress.... And Put On That Silly a** "Johnny" They Give To You
So You Sit There..Finally The Doctor Comes in....He Sits Across The Room From Me
And Asks Me Questions...I Answer Them All.....Then He Tells Me That I Should Have An MRI
Which Will Be Done In A Couple Of Days
(Why I Had To Undress And Wear That Stupid Thing?...I Wouldnt Know)
The Doctor Never Even Touched Me
After That Was Done?...I Had To Go Back Out There Amongst The Crowd..All On Their Phones And Stuff
And Wait Once More...Til They Called My Name Again
To Give Me My Doctors Slip ....That Keeps Me Out Of Work For Another Month
When I Got Out Of There?
It Felt Like I Had Just Got Out Of Prison
"It Has Been Estimated...That We Spend.... At The Least...3 Years Of Our Lives.... "Waiting"
Add In.... That We Spend 1 Third Of Our Lives...Sleeping?
And...As It Seems..That There Aint Much Time Left...For Living
(This May Seem Like A Facebook Posting)
(But In This Case....Theres No Other Way Of... Defining The Definition Of Torture)
