The Unhappiest Place On Earth

I had to go to the hospital yesterday and it is the worst place in the world.  At one point, I was at the desk giving my insurance information and I saw that the receptionists were listening to the Mets day game.  I asked for the score and the guy responded: Are you a Mets fan?  When I replied in the affirmative, he frowned and told me that he would not tell me the score because  it would not be good for my health.  He concluded: "Rockies - a lot, Mets - a few."

I still think health care sucks in this country but it's nice to know that even the insurance receptionist is a true health care professional looking out for the patients' best interests.
