Lately, I've found myself taking numerous tests in hospitals to check on my long-lasting problems with heartburn. I would find such visits entirely more tolerable if they would just give me a friggin' lollipop when I leave. Every time I go, I look for the lollipops, and they are never there. As if going to a hospital isn't already morose, there are no lollipops. And that is just depressing. If medicine becomes socialized I have only one request: there better be lollipops.
