- So what you in here for?
(gentle music)
Sorry, is that too personal of a question?
I'm just trying to make some conversation here.
Yeah, what are you in here for?
Sorry, I'd rather not say.
Why are you sitting so close to me?
You've got the entire waiting room,
and you're all up in my personal space.
They say to get 10,000 steps a day, and I'm at 8,000.
I'm almost there.
While I'm waiting, I might as well get those steps in.
I just realized why there are no windows
in this waiting room.
It's because I've been waiting so long
that I'm ready to jump out of a window.
Now why is it if I'm 15 minutes late for my appointment,
they charge me a $50 fee,
but they can keep me waiting here all day,
and I just gotta live with it.
Wow, I can't believe I finished reading this whole book.
Then again, I've been waiting so long,
I could have finished writing a whole book.
(gentle music)
What if they tell me I have a tumor?
What if they tell me I'm dying?
What if they tell me I have to pee in a cup and I can't go?
(coughing)
(dramatic music)
(gentle music)
Hey, excuse me.
I know your office is really understaffed
and I feel empathy for that,
but I was just wondering if I'll be seen anytime soon,
'cause I've been here for like three hours.
Or I mean, I can just tell my brother
I'm gonna miss his wedding.
It's no problem.
I don't want you to feel rushed.
Yo, can you wake me up when they I call my name?
It was a long night last night.
Sure, what's your name?
(snoring)
Okay, and now I feel responsible
for a stranger's wellbeing due to their own negligence.
It's fantastic.
Hey, bro, so I'm gonna miss the wedding.
It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it.
Yeah, no, no, I'm really sorry.
I know this is a big deal,
but they're just not seeing me right now.
I've been waiting for a while.
Healthcare, am I right?
(gentle music)
Yeah, yeah, I'm making some friends here too.
It's great, it's awesome.
I'm grateful that my phone has a full battery
so I can watch YouTube videos while I wait.
And this waiting room has no cell service.
What if this isn't just any waiting room, but in fact,
we are dead and waiting for our reincarnation assignment?
Like, what are we gonna be next?
Am I gonna be another human being?
Will I move up to a place of higher station?
Or maybe I'm gonna get demoted a little bit.
Maybe I'll be a little blade of grass.
Or maybe I'll be like a puppy running around,
a little golden retriever.
I don't know.
Okay, I've had enough time waiting.
I'm just gonna go home, take some NyQuil,
and hope that my covid goes away on its own.
(coughing)
I've been waiting way too long,
and the doctor needs to see me right now!
If that's convenient for him.
I'll just be over here, okay?
(gentle music)
(sighing)
Let me guess.
I'm gonna get in there
and the doctor's gonna tell me I've got high blood pressure.
Yeah, no S, Sherlock.
You make me take PTO in the middle of a workday
and come wait here for six hours
in a waiting room with chairs that are hard as a rock,
and the dr of society are coughing in my face.
How could I not have high blood pressure?
It's definitely not my high sodium diet.
Sir, the doctor is ready to see you now.
Oh, not you, sir, the gentleman behind you.
It is not your turn yet, sir.
you are gonna have to keep waiting.
All right, right this way, sir.
Thank you for your patience.
(dramatic music)
Okay, so let me get this straight.
We went through a whole pandemic,
and you still don't know how to cover your cough properly.
Are you in this waiting room
because you hit your head and you think it's 2019?
I'm sorry, don't mean to be rude,
but my time is worth more than this.
(gentle music)
Sir, the doctor is ready to see you now.
Sir?
Now where did he go?
Some people are so impatient.
