Dog eat dog world

Having spent the morning in Accident & Emergency because my daughter woke up rather poorly, I was a little shocked by the attitude of both me and my wife. It was clear that when we arrived, we mentally checked out everyone in the waiting room (and indeed did the same to people coming in whilst we were there) to determine whether they were more ill than our daughter.....in a vain attempt to establish in which order we would get to see a doctor.

I didn't have much sympathy for the girl who had obviously sprained her ankle whilst drunk the previous evening, or the fat bloke who had problems with his knees. However, the young lad with one eye swollen to the size of a balloon and the woman coughing up her insides were probably slightly more needy than us.

Thankfully, all was well and we are now back at home as a family!
