I hate hospitals....

I WAS REMINDED TODAY OF HOW MUCH I HATE HOSPITALS. JUST THE FEELING BEING THERE IS ENOUGH FOR ME. I DIDN'T EVEN GO INTO THE ROOMS, JUST THE LOBBY. I JUST GET A WEIRD FEELING THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT STEMS BACK TO WHEN I SAW MY GRANDFATHER IN THE HOSPITAL. I JUST KNOW THAT I DON'T LIKE THEM. I SAT IN THE WAITING AREA FOR ABOUT THREE AND A HALF HOURS. IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE VISIT HOSPITALS EVERYDAY. LOTS. LOTS AND LOTS. AND THAT WAS JUST THE SMALL AREA I WAS IN. IT WAS NOT THE EMERGENCY OR INTENSIVE CARE SECTION. I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE, AND THAT PLACE GETS BAD. MOST OF THE TIME, EVERYONE KEEPS TO THEMSELVES IN THE LOBBY. A FEW STARES AT ONE ANOTHER BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S JUST QUIET. THEN, LIKE TODAY, YOU HAVE SOME REALLY ROWDY PEOPLE. MAN, THESE FOLKS WERE LOUD. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT NONE OF THE STAFF WOULD NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE GETTING ANNOYED BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO READ OR HEAR THE VERY LOW TELEVISION, OR EVEN SLEEP. IT'S ALSO REALLY SAD THAT, THOSE ARE THE TIMES WHEN YOU SEE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS THAT YOU HADN'T SEEN IN AGES. NEVER HAVE TIME TO SEE ONE ANOTHER, BUT THERE YOU ARE. AND YOU CAN'T REALLY BE HAPPY TO SEE THEM, CAUSE LOOK WHAT BROUGHT YOU THERE. SOMEONE'S PROBABLY DYING OR NEAR DEATH AT THAT VERY MOMENT. IF AND WHEN I END UP IN A HOSPITAL, I PRAY THAT IT'S NOT LONG TERM. AND IF IT IS, DON'T BE SUPRISED IF YOU SEEN A MAN WITH HIS BEHIND UNCOVERED ESCAPING THROUGH A HOSPITAL WINDOW USING THE BILLIONS OF LATEX GLOVES THE HOSPITALS SEEM TO HAVE IN EACH ROOM TO CLIMB DOWN. YUP, THAT'LL BE ME.
