The other day as I got to Slocum Dickson Medical Center I realized there are just things that bug me about this place.

To start... parking is ridiculous.  The spaces are to small and everyone in Upstate NY drives an SUV so it's just too tight.  I ended up parking (at the end of the day mind you) at the very top of the lot as far away from the door as one could possibly park.

As I walked across the parking lot, I remembered my last visit when I sat in the waiting room for well over 45 minutes and kept wondering several things.  1.  How can I live in this area most of my life and still not know a single person that walks by.  I know everyone normally... 2.  Why is this area so hell bent on remaining in 1989...fashion, hair...it's insane!  And your fake tan makes you look orange people...it's not sexy!!   3.  After looking at these other people....how am I the unhealthy one???

The place just bugs me.

I think what annoys me the most though...is I think ( and this is the truth) that Slocum or Dickson, or both for that matter, are sitting in some giant booth in the top of the lobby behind some piece of one way mirror, and watching you as you walk in.  If you walk past the fron desk, and are forced to choose, the elevator or the steps....and you do not choose wisely...then I think they hit some magical medical button deciding your faith!!  

I am honestly afraid to not take the stairs...they will look down on me and give me some horrbile disease...

There I said it...
