Oh, Hades, have got a medical (routine) appointment in the A.M.
Those medical establishment peeps, with their authoritarian clerks, think *our* whole lives revolve round them. Like how we should sit for three hours and not talk back - all to get their 3 minutes enough to reap $$$$.
One "medical" type (dentist, $7K a pop), making bedside chit-chat advised me not to go to Machu Picchu (his recent vacay) in the rainy season, $10K trip. Like, I was choking on his $7K bill, least interested candidate for Machu Picchu.
