At the clinic today I went to the staff lounge to get some tea (my eyes were trying to close, and I had no toothpicks available to prop them open). Usually the lounge is quiet and empty…but I happened to walk in during the nurses’ lunch break.<\/p>\n
Chaos! There were 9 nurses in a very small space…all between the ages of 35-60. These women are some of the sweetest, toughest, and sometimes scatterbrained people I’ve ever met. They help me decipher doctor’s handwriting and always say hello to me.<\/p>\n
Well, when I walked in they were jovially ribbing one of the young male doctors (who is tall and good-looking, of course). This is pretty much how the conversation went:<\/p>\n
Nurse 1: “Are you married, doctor?”
\nNurse 2: “No, he isn’t married.”
\nNurse 1: “Not married, why not?! Are you dating someone?”
\nDoctor grabs cup of coffee.<\/i>
\nNurse 3: “Yes, he is! Aren’t you, dear? How long has it been?”
\nNurse 4: “Oh my, aren’t we something?”
\n“One month.” -mumbled through a smile<\/i>
\nNurse 5: “oooh well we can’t interfere yet. We have to give it time.”
\n*laughter*
\nNurse 6: “You ladies are just awful, awful! Stop harassing the poor man!”
\nDoctor escapes with coffee in hand and embarrassed grin on his face.<\/i><\/p>\n
I was giggling the whole time. Poor guy…
\nRight now, I hear Jerry Springer on a television somewhere in the clinic. I’ve never SEEN a television here, so I don’t know where it is coming from.
