Image result for sick gif

Nobody really likes waiting in a doctor's or a hospital’s waiting room for ages….  It is not just annoying and boring, but it can be pretty problematic for sick people to surround themselves with even more sick people, after all, you already have a weakened immune system and a hospital or clinic’s crowded waiting room makes it easy to pick up an additional infection over the one you are having.
