Colin asks:
<< Why are so many receptionists dragons? >>
Doctors' receptionists deal with people who are sick and in pain every single
working day of their lives. At the same time they have to juggle a doctor's
schedule in such a way that keeps the doctor happy -- not too many patients,
not too few. They see every injury and malady known to mankind, so a cut
finger, no matter how painful it is to you, Colin, may not register as a very
big deal to a receptionist whose last phone call may have been from a mother
with a baby who has a very high fever and also needs to see the doctor
immediately. From a doctor's point of view, a dragon receptionist would
probably be preferable to a pussycat. In any case, *I* hope you feel better
soon, Colin!
