If you guessed Iguanodon, Triceratops, Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex you are WRONG. They are: Strep Throat, Strep Throat, Impetigo, and TBD. See, every time you go to the pediatrician’s, you get a free sticker. Nash has been collecting them since March 1. I do not want to see another one until 2009, OK??
And this week alone I have spent over 2 hours WAITING in doctor’s offices. WTF? If I have an appointment at 10:30, I expect to see a doctor within 30 minutes of that time. And if I don’t, would it kill them to freaking apologize for the wait?? I had an appointment with my knee specialist this week and after 40 minutes, he just comes waltzing in all ‘hey, what’s up?’. How about a simple ‘sorry to keep you waiting’? Or lie with a ‘Sorry, I was busy saving a life’. Or shock me and say ‘sorry, I was busy reading your chart so that I could be completely up to speed on your progress so we wouldn’t have to spend the first 10 minutes recapping where we left off’?? Seriously, they’re called manners. Look into them or ask your mommy and she can remind you.
However, all of this waiting has given me an inspiration for a new book: Things to do while waiting in a doctor’s office. My personal favorite is tongue depressor sword fight. And I rock at Eye Spy. I also love, “Guess what the person in the next room has”, or “What’s in this drawer?” But the true classic is draw on the exam table paper. Nash covered several feet this week…..
