The last time I was in a Doc-in-a-box emergency medical office in Durham I had the displeasure of being bombarded by CNN’s Health Channel blaring from the waiting room’s TV. It annoyed me, but I just tuned it out and read a magazine. Others, though, are not being as passive as I:
Several other patients joined me in complaining. Soon the room was filled with a cacophony of New York, Chinese and Spanish accents asking her to shut the TV off. Finally, the receptionist agreed to lower the volume. Another patient pulled out his radio so we could listen to the Yankee game. What a relief.
