Swallow Video Test part 1

My visit to the GI Specialist, resulted in the ordering of a Video Swallow Test

The appt was set for the 29th of Oct.

today is the first of 2 parts story

I arrived per email instructions at the front door at the hospital wearing the above mask!

The email stated, arrive 30 minutes early, bring a mask and of course all paperwork.

the first thing the volunteer said, was 

please remove your mask and put on one of these GREEN ones. No one is allowed in the hospital with the mask they are wearing. All employees and visitors must have on the same green mask.that way we know it is a clean one never been outside the building.

She then pointed to the double doors and said there are red arrows that will direct you to out paient services. the hospital is ginormous, I was at the front, the unit was at the back and I entertained my self while walking for 5 minutes, thinking, what if I could not walk this far,

 what if I get lost, no one in sight, who would I ask.

Arriving at the door that said Out Patients

I stepped in, and went to the window on he far side of the room, right there by the coffee machines you can see in the photo, the one that we used the last 3 times I brought bob for  tests.

She pointed to the door I entered through,  at a TABLE with a man behind it that said register here.

I wandered back through a dozen people waiting hoping they did not notice I totaly missed the sign and the man and hoping at least one of them had also missed it.

HOW I missed this 250 pound man and a table full of stacked Ipad's, I do not know.

 He smiled and said have a seat, I will come to you when  I am ready. REALLY? I am ready NOW

What do you think I did next?

You guessed it. Out came the cell phone to take the view, then I switched to selfie to see what he GREEN mask EVERYONE MUST wear looked like

and realized I could see the world outside in my selfie, so kindly added this 

For you viewing pleasure. 

Sorry, my head was to big to show the whole head AND the view. 

See those parking spots? they were right outside the door. My car was resting in its spot about 1/2 mile  away at the FRONT of the hospital... Just as I was thinking, I knew those were there from past visits, so why did they tell me to come in the front door, a woman huffed and puffed in the door after the WALK and stopped at the desk that she noticed, the one I did not. 

He must have removed his invisibly cloak

She said  "why did my instructions say park in front and come in the front door?

I could have parked OUT THERE.

I breathed thank you puffing Lady and waited to hear the answer, glad that I did not have to ask it.

He said, there is only room for about 10 cars because they have them all closed because of constrution.

NOTE! this hospital is like our roads, always under construction.

I wanted to raise my hand and say, you could have put in the email, due to construction the back parking lot is now closed except for wheel chair patients only.

About that time a Lady sitting with a man said loudly, I parked out there, do I have to move my car?

YES, he said...................TO BE CONTINUED
