5 People You’ll Meet While Waiting For Your Doctor’s Appointment In Lebanon

As you’re waiting for your turn outside the doctor’s clinic, you’ll most likely encounter these people in the waiting room. Which one are you?

1. The secretary’s new BFF

There’s always that person that goes up to the secretary every 5 minutes to check if there are any updates with the doctor’s schedule.

Buddy, we’re all going to wait at least half an hour, ma fi wasayet.

2. The stranger that insists on diagnosing you

“Eh ana hek tala3la 3a jesma benet 3amteh, akid ente hek kamen.”

This is always followed by a revision of your family’s medical history.

3. The magazine scanner

This person browses through every magazine from the pile dating back to 2017. Their favorites are Jaras and Chabakeh.

4. The voice note sender

There’s always that annoying person who’ll never stop sending voice notes to literally everyone they know. Do you really have to do this in a room with 20 other people?

5. The conversation starter

Usually alone, and always sitting in the middle between two people that came together. This person insists on the chitchat even though you’re visibly un-bothered with small talk and stressed about what the doctor is going to tell you.
