Things you don't want to hear...

After an allergy injection, you are required to sit and wait for 30 minutes so that the medical staff can determine that your arm has not swollen to the size of a telephone pole, or at the very least you are not foaming at the mouth. So at any given time there are 4 or 5 inoculates (inoculees?) sitting around in the waiting room, well, waiting.

That was the scene the other day when we heard a shriek from the nurse's station.

"Oh. My. God!!!!"

There are a lot of looks of shared consternation as we each wonder if we have received an injection of some deadly poison.

"Look at this!!!"

Okay. Someone has just gone in to be checked and their arm fell off. Is mine next?

"The Texas Showdown Saloon down on the Drag is closing! Oh, no!"

I'm thinking malpractice suit.
