I'm sick

so I went to the boerne acute care.
I have a good ol' head cold.
one person was sitting in the lobby.
I filled out their forms and then sat down. 
the other guy was called back after 5 mins, and I was called after another 10.
went with the young kid (probably 22) to an exam room.
He took my blood pressure, temperature etc....
Said "Doc will be in to see you soon.
10 mins.
15mins.
20mins.
30mins.
I opened the door.  The kid was talking w/ another young employee and says "You should have seen it yesterday!!  I went in an exam room and just fell asleep for like three hours!!"  They high-fived at this.
I said "Excuse me.  When will I be seen?"
He walks over and says "Huh?"
I say "I've been in her almost 40 mins"
He grabs the door, and as he closes it says "Yeah, I know.  the exam rooms are all full."
I re-open the door, and say, "Yeah, which one?"
there are probably 6 exam rooms, and they are all empty.  I'm in mine, and the guy from the lobby is across the hall.
Kid shrugs his shoulders.
Luckily for Doc, he shows up quickly, barely looks at me and says "I'll call in some antibiotics."

Except he didn't call it in.  I have to take a print out to Walgreens, drop it off, and return 2 hours later.

Thank God Obama will save us from poor health care.  Right?
