[Dailydrool] on vets and visits and ceiling wax, and cabbages and kings

[R Groves]

Ok.. well not really about all that, but about vets and visits to their
offices.. 
 
am I the only one that wonders what in the hell were the architects thinking
when they designed these vet offices?  especially the new ones ... oh
they're nice looking and all...but you could be sitting there and a mouse
could fart, and the noise would echo and deafen you simply because the
waiting area is ALL HARD SURFACES and no good sound dampening effects like
cloth murals or no animal garden flags hanging from the ceilings
perpendicular to the walls to add that sound killing objects, or bush-like
plants to again... cut down on the echo surface area...
 
our newer vet just had an add-on built to replace their old and really
cramped offices .... their old office space was horribly cramped, the
waiting area held 6 chairs, and was big enough to have three adults stand
side by side from wall to wall width wise, and about 10 adults side by side
in length.  very cramped and if you went in while someone who wasn't smart
enough to sit at the furthest end with one of those overly eager or
aggressive dogs, you often couldn't get a seat because you couldn't walk by
their animal safely... 
 
The best exam room I've been into, was also in a newer extension ... a
member of the healthy paw's chain in Virginia ... exam rooms were nearly
master bedroom sized (15x20's), the exam tables were built-in, and were
seamless from open side to back where the table's edge curved upward so that
the wiping wouldn't need to work into cracks -n- crevices, the seat was also
molded into the back side of the table so that you could sit back right next
to the table with a ledge behind you in case your hound wanted to see out
the window and seek protection behind you ... it was awesome!
