Hurry up and wait is also a medical thing. How else can you explain having to wait almost a week for the results of a CT or MRI scan?
Getaclue I swear they have no idea what they put people through. I remember during one of my 'scares' having a sonogram on a Fri afternoon and the tech who was the head guy told me they would have the results in the doctor's hands by the following Thursday. I asked him if he had a wife and daughter and he said yes he did. I asked him if his mom was still alive and once again he said yes. I then asked him if he would be willing to wait almost a week before finding out if one of them had breast cancer, or if he would put one of them through such a wait. He said no, and by the way, you are fine and that didn't come from me.
Medicine is so tied up and bound in regulations the biggest being HIPPA that it is no longer patient oriented but regulation oriented. The doctors hate it, the nurses hate it and the patients hate it.
But we still have to hurry up and wait.
I once had a dragon fly emerge from it's larval stage in the palm of my hand and sit on my fingers to dry out it's wings. It was very magical.
