Personal Narrative: The Anesthesiologist

226 Words1 Page

I'd be nervous about those things too, but he seems to take it all in stride. His sister lives in Yarmouth which is about fifteen minutes from where we are. I think the fact that they triage appointments definitely has a lot to do with why we've had to wait a while for ours. Also, they need to schedule anesthesiologists and so on. The anesthesiologist I had came to meet me just before my procedure and I swear he must have been Jim Carry's fraternal twin and he would not stop with the jokes. I appreciated that he was trying to add a little levity to the sittuation because I was so upset and nervous, but I just wanted the entire thing over and done with and I wasn't there for a comedy show. I'm glad to hear that Grandma was in good spirits.
