The Waiting Room

Worth the price of admission. Language warning.

"Everybody in the room seems to know each other. From what I can gather, it's from jail or the halfway house. A gaggle of white trash tweeker chicks begin reading aloud from some sort of pamphlet about clitoral stimulation. While this goes on, a group of crusty black women alternately praise and threaten violence against their children."

Thank God I've never been to an ER that wasn't in a military hospital.

Screw the waiting room--when I went to San Francisco, that's about what it looked like on every street everywhere. Gaggles of random people from highly-pierced teens to smelly old men camped out on sidewalks in lawn chairs and sleeping bags just minding their own business.

"Kelly, I think they're waiting in line for PS3s."

"Um. I don't see any electronics stores. I'm fairly certain they're homeless..."

Sounds a lot like the corner of Westheimer and Montrose.

You realize of course, that had a DOCTOR posted this, he'd be at risk for a) violating HIPAA, b) getting canned by his employer hospital.
