Everywhere I go there is a plastic Santa or Snowman Smiling... Everywhere I go I see busy traffic and one person is honking another is cursing... Where is The Love... Everywhere smiles are replaced with aggravated tense looks... NEXT... the woman yells out...Oh STAT here means nothing even from your Doctor... Have a seat when your x-rays & blood are taken then its STAT...NEXT! Where is the love... Number 87 she yells out...the technician barks her instructions...I comply... I ask her what is STAT to you is it on report..NO, but she tells me it goes directly to Doctor...I had noticed bright orange tabs saying STAT at desk and it wasnt on here... Where is the love... I am ordered back to sit with the masses and will be called in order... Next is blood and I try to start a friendly convo about her dog pics... I tell her it is hard to get a vein so she asks to use my hand...I agree.. Hey she yells out to other nurse I never seen this kind of test...the other nurse yells out just put a blue cap on it... Where is the love... I am instructed to go back to Doctor waiting area... My doctors nurse is the kind retreat but says blood tests are taking a long time... STAT was not put on folder I suppose...I wait Where is the love... Doctor explains about the node on lungs needs checking but wants more invasive testing...as I say I miss my more extensive life and breathlessness is taking it away you know I am a A personality and I have so much to do...He says you have always been a A and very intense and that is you it wont go away...he sends me away with a lot of invasive testing coming up....He gives me a Big Hug... Where is the love...it is there I just have to pass quite a few to reassure myself in this wild & frantic world and Holidays that love and kindness exists... Brenda Mlodinoff~
