I was effin appalled, can you believe? Normally, I try to focus on the positive, so I'll be brief, but I had to go to the Dr.'s today and was surprised to find this: I had entered. Checked in and taken a seat only to find a moment later, the door opening in a sort of stilted manner. An elderly man, who needed a walker had sort of shuffled in, whereas his daughter entered a second later w/ complete ease. After his struggle, he gasped asking her for oxygen, to which she sighed heavily, with dramatic intent on this emphasis and so I had gathered that this was out of the question and a terrible inconvenience for her. So I wasn't surprised when she just told him to sit down as she proceded to the window with his oxygen tank. Meanwhile, a quiet woman sat patiently, roughly of the same age as this woman. Slowly, the elder fellow dragged forward, if that makes sense and sat down, to which she, in a brash and stern manner darted, scolding him for not putting his walker away, though it was just next to his seat. Another, older gentlemen had then appeared, leaving from his appointment, surprised to find his daughter waiting for him patiently (The quiet woman) "What are you doing here?," he asked surprised and clearly pleased in a warmed manner. She replied, "I was waiting for you." "But you're so early." "I just wanted to be ready for you, just in case." At this point, the first girl had sighed in a sort of contemptuous tone asking if her father needed paperwork. Her father sort of looked at her, maybe gesturing towards the oxygen tank, in the eye-line sense, offering in what I thought to be an excuse he should never have to feel obligated to say:, "That stairway is really hard for-" She snapped, "That's why you should've taken the elevator." The other two patrons, sort of looked over briefly. I got the sense that they wondered if they had just heard right, but I can only speak for myself and I wondered the same. The second lady pursed her lips, awkwardly turning, as if hoping no one had heard that, holding her fathers coat as he placed one arm in- "I just wanted to get you out as soon as possible, so I could take you home," she offered as she helped him with his coat. "Well, isn't that nice, " he said in a natural and genuine manner, thankful I sensed. I was touched, really. Upon which, the first girl, sighed heavily. Out loud. "so you don't need paperwork?,? the nursed asked. She turned, ?Trust me, she said, nothing's changed." And so, with his coat, the other father and daughter had left. The other daughter, made a sort of point sitting away from her father? and had I been there for another five minutes, I would have asked her if she would like to go home and offered to take her father, who seemed to be really nice, a ride home. Ok, this wasn't brief, so I won't go into my thoughts, but I don't think I have to, but please to anyone who reads this, let me know I wasn't the only one who felt this was a terrible thing. It's wrong. Very wrong. For Christ's sake, I wanted to hug the old man...
