The following happened to me something like 10 years ago. One day I had to see a doctor I haven't seen in years.

I remembered him as a character having a bit of greasy hair and to be a little overweight, but not fat as such, comfortable but not too slow. Normally I would have expected the waiting room to be full or at least have a couple of people sitting there, but there was no one. And I hadn't to wait more than a few seconds to see him open the door to his room and call my name...

I was surprised to see him completely changed. Elegant, slim, with a lot of vitality compared to the last time I saw him, and I knew him for at least 15 years. So what happened? He told me he lived unhealthy and has completely changed since he had a stroke. And my impression was that he was obviously brain damaged a bit, with the right brain part being offline, or that he had a obsessive loop in his "analytical" brain side. He was very sure about doing the right things and talking about the important matters. He was obsessed with politics and I couldn't get through him to talk with him about the health problem I had. Somehow he had not really something new to tell me I didn't know before, he was very upset about corruption and the crumbling of our civilization, the state. He was a big fan of Prussia, the wise King, which was at least always something he would always bring up somehow and had a educational value. There was nothing I wanted to argue about with him, we had no big different opinions on most important subjects, and I only wanted to come to the conclusion, to say why I came here to see the doc ... but he would never stop talking and inquiring.

Anyway for 30-45 minutes he wouldn't stop to check me on this or that subject, and I couldn't tell him 10-30% of the 3-10 sentences I wanted to tell him. I became angry and started shouting at him, lol. But he wouldn't stop talking about "trivialities", the state of the world etc.

So I never showed up again to take blood samples. Very sad. I saw him a few times when I walked around in the neighborhood but he didn't notice me (most probably), he seemed somehow very satistfied and happy, obviously indulged in his thoughts, fantasies, observations, discoveries, who knows :nuffins: ... "I am so smart, I can see through everything". Or like he would be on some kind of happy making pills or something. lol. That's what he was like. And possibly he was right, but I pittied him of course, and I have a bit of remorse to have been loud with him. It made me very sad to see him go bankrupt and mad like that, I always liked him a bit. I wish I knew a trick for such kind of people, how to lead the discussion in the right way when you have someone who is in a similar situation like e.g. someone who has Alzheimer.

So anyway, the only other two times I found empty waiting rooms to see the doctor was once at a hospital during summer holidays and once when I had a nigger doctor that suddenly appeared as a GP colleague (before him waiting times would be hours).
