Hospital visits

One would think that someone who used to work in the medical field would have no problem visiting, yet I can’t stand doing it.

Here I am right now visiting a hospital with my dad who’s exhibiting signs of appendicitis. Lounging around here in the waiting room reminds me of why I got out of emergency medicine in the first place. Dealing with people on a regular basis, especially people who have an entitlement mentality, is very trying on my patience (no pun intended).

Anyway, I’m hoping things turn out well, and that it’s not appendicitis. Yeah, it’s a fairly routine illness, and surgery isn’t always necessary, so the chances are good that we’ll be out of here soon with no complications.

    Hospitals are good for getting home work done.
