Our experience in emergency illustrated

Although no sick person, let alone an elderly one, should have to sit for hours (often 8 hours for us) in emergency it can be an interesting, though not heart-warming, experience.

Young lady at triage desk... and we're not off to a good start. I think she should look for a new line of work.

I could swear I saw Uncle Fester's sister kick open the door. She appeared to be a nurse or doctor, though it's hard to be sure these days. Just add long frazzled hair to this look with blackened eyes. Fright night!

Hands and shoulders are passé. The NEW way to open a door at Emergency, even for doctors, is to use a foot to KICK it open. Best coupled with sour/angry expression. So classy and professional looking. I was reminded of Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (kicking door scene).
