Yesterday I saw a doctor in Beverly Hills. I had to wait for half an hour. When it was my turn, she had me sit at a little table and took notes while I answered questions such as: Have you ever had a transfusion? She kept falling asleep mid-sentence. At one point, her pen skidded across the whole page. It took 40 minutes. Then she wrote out my prescription, which took a full ten minutes. She scribbled, nodded off, scribbled again, right on top of the previous word, and then nodded off again. I would have thought she was on heroin, had she been younger and skinnier. I didn't know if I should say something. I didn't. So I just sat in silence and waited as she dosed. You think we need health reform?
