         Awaiting Patients         Sock Hops, Recorders, and Owl Pellets: Tips on Surviving the 4th Grade

Awaiting Patients

Synopsis:
It's a typical evening in the local doctor's office and the reception is packed full to the brim with the its share of typical (and atypical) patients. There's the heavily pregnant lady, demanding Nutella and cantaloupes, her flustered fiance, the 77-year old guy who just wants to find the bathroom, the suburban housewife and of course, the local oddball, Tom, who has made it his duty to hit on the air headed receptionist. There's only one thing missing and that's "Cartwright," the next patient on the doctor's list. Company policy dictates that the doctor has to wait for any patient that is running late for up to an hour. And so, the doctor waits. As does everybody else stuck behind him in the queue.
