Track 01: My Generation - Starfield
I've done it. I've caved. I've started a blog.
I do not intend on telling anyone about this blog, however. Just because I don't want to be part of that crazy world of blog maddness. I just want to type my thoughts out, because sometimes they make more sense on paper than they do in my head.
I have a sore throat. I've had it for a couple of days, but yesterday the soreness peaked. I called my doctor's office and I can't get in to see her today because she's done at 12, and she's off on Monday "because it's a holiday".
I think that's remarkably stupid.
I know doctors need holidays, and I think they should take them. However, I do not think that an entire GP office should be closed on a holiday because doctors need a break. GPs work hard, I'm not disputing that fact. I am, however, disputing the fact that they chose to be a doctor, they chose a career that takes up a huge chunk of time. I'm sure that two GPs can work out holidays so that one is on, one is off. People still get sick on holidays. And I know "if it's an emergency you can go to the hospital", but who wants to wait in line for hours and hours just so a doctor can stick a popsicle stick down your throat for two seconds and tell you its a virus and to go home? Me! Me! I do, pick me!
And those are my thoughts for today.
Back to bed, I suppose, to sleep off this sickness so I can work my 6 hour shift until 12:30 tonight.
