My immune system over the years has kind of gone into overdrive. I’m constantly ill and as a result spend almost every fortnight visiting the doctors. Thinking back to my last sentence now- ‘kind of’ is an understatement, noone should need the doctors that much in their routine life. Obviously some people like myself are prone to illness and have to tolerate, ghastly artificial lighted rooms,  large underwatered spider plants and a kid constantly rattling one of those toys with the wires that blocks of wood are attached to. 

Something weird about the doctors waiting room. Everyone begins to make assumptions, or establish each other more within their heads. I say this openly because there is not much else you can do in waiting rooms. You do begin to question whether the name on the call screen does in turn fit with their appearance- then you begin to think of what name would actually fit them. Today a guy called Henry Poland was called. He did not look Polish, then i thought maybe he’s in for depression because people at school used to bully him because his last name was a country. ‘Mr Poland, i’m from Poland’ ‘are you polish- then WHYS your name POLAND doesn’t make any sense!’ I did obviously go too far with this, almost resorting to a full blown flashback- but of course, that’s what you do in waiting rooms aside read Grazia magazine. 

Jeremy Kyle was on in the waiting room. I can’t think of a more depressing programme to be let shown in a walk in nhs center, 10 to 10 in the morning. So ignoring that i watched flight of the conchords whilst still finding the need to analyse people in the room. That spider plant better not die. How many cups of dispensed water can you drink before people can assume you have a bladder problem? Alas. Your thought processes will be the same- sitting in an ill malaise and on horrid furnishing. 

It’s also a race and a staring competition at the call board, albeit pointless. Don’t you just hate that person who’s just been prescribed their medication as they walk out the door with relieved shine on their face? Probably not. But as i’m a regular, i do.
