Dear Gingerw: Oh yes. Everything you have said and more. Trying to keep my mind busy by looking at each persons shoes, their dress code. Feeling sorry for some poor people or disfigured ones. Apprehensively waiting to be called. Paranoia steps in saying who has been called before me. Then why have I been placed in this room and have waited for a longer time. But, I will keep my cool and not allow them to see my aprehension and smile with a nice hello. What I really mean cannot be said here. However, remember not all of the health care workers are the same. I am sorry for the well meaning ones.
