Jab!

So.......ever since Dulcie had her flu jab I have been meaning to get one myself. Winter is coming! I have never had a flu jab before but I certainly don't want to catch it.The pharmacy chain 'Chemist Warehouse' were doing them for $10 but by the time I got my act together they had stopped.I popped in and asked 'Bored Stacey' the other day if it was too late to get one from the doctor. It wasn't and unusually she came across as quite professional in her assistance with my query.I made an appointment to see the doctor this morning at 9.30 am.'Bored Stacey' was not in. It was the other woman that 'Bored Stacey' had been 'training' up.The waiting room was quite busy and 'Tonic TV' was playing on the screen. The guy sat nearest to me looked like he was in desperate need of an emergency beard removal. His beard was a foot long and even though he was bald on top he had a two foot long plaited pig tail hanging down his back. He must have been sixty......and I thought I looked silly in my matching shorts, t-shirt and beach shoes.Dr Wang came out and spoke to another chap...."They told me to come back," said the man, "but Dr Wang, it is still weeping terribly."I didn't want my mind to boggle but it did.I was unexpectedly called in by Dr Trish....a tiny Asian woman......I would not have been surprised to discover she was on a sabbatical from Munchkinland.I asked her about the flu jab. Yes, I could have one.....she gave me a prescription and I had to go and get it from the Pharmacy and bring it back.I went and got it. The Pharmacy was like a bomb site as they are in the midst of renovations but it was 'Business as Usual'.I went back and had to wait again in the waiting room before Dr Trish once more took me along the Yellowbrick Road to her room.She seemed to be having trouble getting rid of the air bubbles in the syringe.....and tapped at it for ages....I didn't want to look but couldn't help myself to make sure that I could see no bubbles too."A sharp sting" and it was in. "Please wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes and then you can go."There were two more beards in the waiting room now. The employees at Gillette must surely fear for their jobs with the way beards are sweeping the World like an untreatable face fungus.Terry arrived......you remember Terry, from the X-Ray place......he was in some distress."Are you alright?" Asked the woman on the desk concerned."No," he said gasping.Pigtail man came out from seeing the doctor. He still had his beard.....obviously it was more serious than it seemed and needed a beard surgeon. He greeted Terry warmly, shaking his hand. Terry put on a brave face and chatted to him.A lady Indian Doctor popped her head out....I had never seen her before......."Ah Terry!" she called, "Talk of the devil!".......and disappeared.Terry went to sit down but was greeted warmly by two other elderly patients and he had to shake their hands too. He smiled through his pain. PoorTerry, such is the price one pays for being such a pillar of the community."I'm going to the loo," he announced, as if trying to escape the papparazi."I think you might need a key," an elderly lady called after him."It's open," he called from out of sight.I never saw him again.........my 15 minutes was up and I left.
