Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
waiting for the room.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
in the waiting room.
Why so late
for the date
I made 2 weeks ago?
You could’ve phoned
or even postponed
I wouldn’t have said no.
Instead I’m stuck
out of luck
here where the germs loom;
waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
in the waiting room.
I feel the pain.
“if you are 5 minutes late for your scheduled appointment, you will be billed and have to reschedule.”
Yet, I arrive 20 minutes early, and am not even seen by the ‘medical assistant’ for my blood pressure until 30 minutes after I’m scheduled. Perhaps a reverse billing cycle is in order?
