Did you bring a sleeping bag?

Guy comes in, stands at front desk.

Mary: "Hi, can I help you?"

Mr. Kampout: "Yeah, I have an appointment with Dr. Grumpy next week."

Mary: "Okay..."

Mr. Kampout: "Can I be seen today or tomorrow instead?"

Mary: "Let me see... No we're all filled up, but I can call you if someone cancels."

Mr. Kampout "Thank you. Can I wait here until then?"

I feel like people are making fun of a very sick man.If things were different, it could be any one of us.

Not that sick. I suspect what he said wasn't what he meant.

Back in the '60's when I was growing up, you went to the doctor when you were sick. You didn't have to have an appointment (I'm not even sure they made appointments). The doctor's office had an emergency room that you'd go to if you were bleeding or something. Otherwise you'd wait until they called you. Nowadays you make an appointment at 8 am, and if you're lucky, the doctor's not already behind that early.

Glen, in the 60s, people only went to the doctor when they were sick. They went to their grandmother for everything else. There weren't as many people asking for appointments.
