Drama in the waiting room...

While waiting to get my first fill (an injection of saline) into my lapband, I shared the waiting room area with 4 other women, two of whom were teachers, one was the mother of six (and I swear she looked like she was barely 30!). During the chit-chat, I discovered that one hadn't had a fill in a year, the other had lost 70 lbs., but gained it back and had begged Dr. Green's staff to get him to take her as a patient; another had had a fill a week ago, but had only been able to get about 3 bottles of water down and had lost 7 lbs., so she was in to get some of the "fill" taken back out; and the last one hadn't had a fill in a very long time either, but was wearing a size 18 after having been a size 26/28.

Then the talk turned to problems they'd all had with scheduling--one person said she'd had to call and make all of her appts. because the office staff just never followed through--they all got to sharing and it seems that one person in particular is the source of the scheduling problems.

When Dr. Green breezed through, one of the school teachers snagged him and said, "Wait just a minute, Dr. Green. I think you need to hear what we have to say about your office staff." I swear---you know how school teachers can be!! Needless to say, he got an earfull from this particular teacher and pointed out to him that 4 of the 5 had had scheduling problems due to this person in his office. Drama in the waiting room!!
