Cutting Remarks - The Waiting Room
You learn a lot when you visit the patient's family after surgery.
John Kelly, IV, MD
FRIENDLY CHAT Meeting with the patient's family after surgery in the waiting room is always a fun sociological exercise.The waiting room is a cross-section of family life. I just wish I had more slices of The Waltons instead of Modern Family. Still, I always marvel at the variety of personality styles I encounter in the waiting room.
