The doctor was scheduled to come to my room by 10am and it was noon he was not here, the nurse came severally to inform me that he was coming soon, I think she was trying to pacify me but she ended up annoying me and it was not her fault so I took my laptop to continue my work maybe he was engaged or just being arrogant I mean what’s the point of being a specialist if you can’t be civil and punctual.
I got engrossed in what I was doing I didn’t know someone walked in, for a moment I felt like someone was staring at me and I asked in irritation if he was going to keep staring, I didn’t even care to ask his reason for staring then he answered with the same irritation saying that he was from pest control, my annoyance only grew worse then I asked him in the most polite way to excuse himself and come when I am discharged then he asked “when is that” and I said “whenever the almighty specialist deemed it fit to grace this ward with his presence”
I hissed and returned my attention back to the screen of my laptop I thought he was going to leave but he just stood there for a while
“ I didn’t mean to make you run out of patience but people in VIP ward want a doctor’s full attention and time so I didn’t want to attend to you in a hurry because I had other patients waiting for me or keep them waiting for too long because I was attending to you.”
“what does that mean” I was clearly irritated “that means that I am Dr Neil Tones and I am the consultant who will be attending to your case.”
“Wait! Did you say Neil Tones?”
