we were supposed to have a lovely day at the museum, lunch, the optomologist, and then maybe a movie. 

But it went the other way.  It began when I went to the health clinic to return the holter (results next week).  Ezi wasn’t feeling well and asked for an EKG.  This led to cancelling the morning  and going home to consider what to do.  That led to a consultation with the doctor that led to the emergency room. 

And then, since Ezi was actually feeling better,  for the rest of the day I got to admire the brand new triage center while he went through a series of tests.  It was quite amazing because in the many times I have been to the emergency ward, it was always chaotic and a bit frightening.  With the new triage center, it was fast, efficient, and not at all unpleasant.  

To tell the truth the ‘pleasant’ part was due in part to the fact that the section we were in dealt only with ambulatory patients, which made speed much more possible.  

So the only real wait was the waiting for blood test results.  The exam, tests, etc went speedily along like a conveyor belt, and he came through exactly as he had entered.  with no changes, no medication, no instructions.  

At least it kept us off the streets and away from the news.
