Why is it...



Why is it that when we walk into a vet's reception area,
we are greeted with
smiles
and welcoming noises
and solicitous remarks?

And when we walk into a doctor's reception area,
too often we are greeted with
indifference,
flat affect,
boredom,
and sometimes rudeness?
That's if we are greeted at all.

Even at the mega pet stores,
where I shop without Quincy,
the checkers are extra nice.

  1. I have been in Dr. offices that are like that. It is rather sad and an uncomfortable feeling. Luckily our Dr.s office is far from that.

  2. I know what you mean. It's especially frustrating if you're worried or concerned about something. Where's the compassion?! How is your fluffy guy doing? Better I hope.
