Waiting,Waiting and Waiting

Another lovely day today,although it was very misty and frosty this morning.
Went to the Doc this morning. My appointment was for 10a.m. and after waiting 1hr and 25mins I eventually got to see him. so while I waited I did one of my fav things to do people watching.It seems that where I live now has become very cosmopolitan,lots of foreign names called out and such.It used to be that you had to go to big cities like Dublin to see loads of foreigners for want of a better word.I think its great though that of all the places that anyone could choose to live they chose here.
I also noticed the people who can't sit still or have no patience ,dare I say it they were mostly the males! The male of the species especially the older generation seem to think that they shouldn't have to wait ,that their time is more importent than a womans.You will find them fidgeting back and forth tutting when it's not their name being called and even going up and down to the receptionist to see why their name hasn't been called. You feel like saying just sit down and wait will you.
Anyway when I eventually got in to the doctor He was very understanding and didn't dismiss my request which I took to be a good sign.My Blood pressure was quite high though but that was because the more I waited the more anxious I became.There was a survey done recently that said that the majority of patients with high blood pressure could have been missed diagnosed because the longer people had waited the more anxious they became. They had called it white coat syndrome.I can totally agree with their findings going by my experience today lol.
