Doctor Visit

There was no welcoming crew, no one to escort me to the sick or health room, no one with a smile on their face to say in that sweet voice "oh are you sick?" But rather a plain white-washed room with blue door that matched the chairs (and that made my blue scarf fit right in) and a couple of fish tanks. 

Why is it that there are aquariums in doctor's offices? Do people feel comfort with fish? I have decided these doctors want to make you feel like you are in the sea (of sickness) not the relaxing beaches of St. Tropez with music of Bridget Bardot in the background.

 Just a plain and simple office, not even a sign welcoming you there. Disappointed that there was no one there to check me in especially because I didn't know where I was supposed to go, made me a little uneasy if I had might the right choice with choosing this office (my husband sees this doctor). Even more disappointing after having to knocked loudly in order to enter didn't served no purpose. Not knowing which door would be my destiny, was it up the stairs, or in front of me? the questions and the uncertainty continued to pop up, and I wanted someone there to lead me in the right direction.

And at the very second that I was thinking about leaving, because it was already 15 minutes past the time of my appointment, I heard my name! I entered the room and was welcomed with kindness unlike what I encountered upon entering the building the first time. Therefore this doctor's office has become my preferred place to go, despite the lack of homeness.
