The waiting room: Drug reps add to the tension

A patient is upset that drug reps prance in to see the physician, while he (or she) is stuck waiting:

The situation is, patients are waiting in the doctor’s waiting room, the doctor is running 30 to 45 minutes late, and the room is crowded.

In prance pharmaceutical reps, one after another. They are permitted to enter the inner office to see the doctor without waiting. Some are carrying boxes of lunches and other goodies. All are carrying samples of their company’s drugs.

Most of the waiting patients are becoming enraged that these people are delaying their appointments even more, and blood pressures are rising.
