You know the waiting as well as I do. You hate it too. The terrible waiting. The time you dread more than a five foot needle stuck in your backside. You feel the rage. You work harder than hell for some decent medical insurance only to wait like a flea-bitten dog for a miserable bone.
Waiting in line to fill out a form. Waiting for a bubblegum-smacking bimbette to point out an pale plastic seat. The terrible waiting in a terrible waiting room. A colour-coded monstrosity overflowing with wheezing zombies staring a flat-paint walls. Or burying their weird heads in magazines best lining Aunt Betty's birdcage. The thought of sitting elbow to elbow in a room full of sick people makes me that much sicker.
Admit it! Any person forcing you to wait that long deserves a serious smack in the face. I want to smack him now before I get the bill. I want to smack him for his poor taste in decor. I want to yell and smack the SOB for his magazine selection alone. And I definitely want to smack this germ-carrying freak next to me coughing up the Ebola virus in my direction.

Probably from flipping pancakes for forty years at a greasy-spoon roadstop. The two-year old seems to have an ear infection or maybe she's upset over the fact that her mother isn't old enough to have a driver's license. This doctor stuff is easy, so hurry-the-hell up before I diagnose again!
I'm not too fond of these doctors either. Nor are you---so don't deny it. They disguise everything. Stupid white lab coats hide body language. Unreadable handwriting, curiously enough, only pharmacists can read. (Between you and I, they're working together!) They speak Latin terms most parish priests couldn't pronounce even if the Pope were sitting in the first pew. Like I said---they disguise everything; before you know it, you're swallowing nasty orange pills, pissing blue urine, and passing out his business cards by the water cooler.
