Review of the old lady at the doctor's office

Once upon a time, I had to go to the doctor's office. I had not been to this particular doctor before, but I was in the process of switching from my pediatrician to an adult doctor and as such was having an intake appointment. They made me fast because you have to fast like 12 hours before you have a blood test, and so I was very tired and out of sorts.

So I walk in with my mom (she drove me because I was afraid I would fall asleep if I didn't eat breakfast), she sits down in the waiting room, and I go to the desk to fill out paperwork or whatever. I kind of like paperwork and filling out forms and stuff, by the way. Just FYI.

Anyway, the receptionist asks for my insurance card, and I give it to her, and she walks away for two seconds to scan a copy for the doctor's records. Meanwhile, since I'm waiting for her to come back, I stand at the desk and start filling out some of the forms. Totally boring and normal, nothing out of the ordinary.

And then SUDDENLY there is a burst of wind and in storms this little old lady. She was in a hurry, like she had so many important places to be. She walks up to the desk, which is pretty small, and kind of stands in front of me and nudges me and my clipboard of forms out of the way. And I didn't really know what to do, so I stepped backward and continued to fill out my forms and wait for the return of the receptionist.

The receptionist comes back and tries to talk to me and hand me back my insurance card, but this lady butts in and says, "I have an appointment to give blood!" Which is great and all, but I don't understand why it's necessary to shove me out of the way in order to do so.

So the receptionist smiles and tells her to sit down, and someone will be right with her. And the lady sits down, and she looks kind of pissed, like since she is giving blood she is the most important person in the room (which only has three people in it, two of which were me and my mom).

A few minutes go by, and the doctor comes to the doorway and sticks his head in to look in the waiting room. Before he can even say anything, the lady jumps up and yells, "I'm giving blood!"

And the doctor looks at her and smiles and says, "That's great," and then he looks at me and says, "Beth?" and then I get to have my appointment. And the lady is FUMING because she is obviously so much more important than everybody else, even if the other people were there before her, and everyone is ignoring her precedence over other people, since she is clearly the only person who gives blood in the entire universe.

Lady, donating your bodily fluids to other people doesn't mean that you always get to go first. On the contrary, maybe you shouldn't be giving blood because yours is obviously contaminated with Snob. Plus, you don't know that the people you're trying to step on haven't given blood themselves. In fact, some of us have repeatedly been turned away for not having enough iron. SO. You, lady, are 100% a rotten tomato. F-.
