The Waiting Room   by onewing

The Waiting Room

We have been in Newcastle all day today as David had an endodontic appointment. It has bucketed down with rain all day too, so no opportunity for photos.

As it is my Friday people day today I thought I would take this quick photo of the lady sitting opposite us in the waiting room and use it for my shot for the day.

She looked very relaxed considering she was waiting to go in to see the dentist.
Great shot Babs -- it looks as if she is prepared for a long wait judging by the size of the book she has started to read !! lol !!

September 4th, 2015  
This lady is definitely in it for the ling haul!

Great candid shot, she looks more relaxed than I feel at the dentist...
September 4th, 2015  
Totally engrossed in a good book indeed :)

Great people shot......love the painting

Great candid shot Babs. It does seem like she is well prepared.

Brilliant, hope your wrist is better

She looks rather relaxed especially if she's waiting to see the dentist!

That looks like a fancy office. I hope the visit went well.

Great Candid Babs.

I have never heard the word Endondontric before........must Google ! Did this lady hear your shutter......you were brave! She looks engrossed in her book !

Nice candid shot
September 4th, 2015  
Endodontic? @happypat me neither Pat!
But good luck to David, and hope it's a happy painfree outcome for all.

Nice candid, ideal way to pass the time!

@beryl ha ha, she didn't have to wait that long.

@gilbertwood Thanks Denise. After two days of rain, the sun is shining again.
September 4th, 2015  
@cruiser No she didn't know I was taking the photo. I usually ask, but the waiting room didn't seem to be the right place somehow.

@thistle @happysnaps @hermann @annied @beachdog @salza Thank you all. I usually ask if I can take a photo of people, but it didn't seem appropriate here.

@bugsy Thanks Heather. The wrist is healing. Have to wear the splint until the end of September when I go back to the hospital. Then will get an update.

@karlow75 Thanks Kane. They can afford a fancy office. The cost of endodontic treatment makes your eyes water. This was the last of 3 appointments for David for root canal treatment.
September 4th, 2015  
@happypat @kwiksilver Thanks. Endodontics is for root canal treatment and this was the last of three treatments for David. He is glad it is all over, but he said the doctor was fantastic and the only pain he had was on his wallet, ha ha.

Not sure if she heard the shutter Pat. I suppose she did, but David and I were talking about how to turn off the sound of the shutter when taking photos on a smart phone, so she could have heard the conversation and not known I was taking her photo at the same time.

You captured a very relaxed look so I was surprised to read she was waiting for a dental appointment. Well done!
September 5th, 2015  
Nice candid shot. She appears to be very interested in what she is reading. I hope that it stops raining.
September 5th, 2015  
As a retired dental assistant I should say it's never as scary as we think it's going to be but there's just something about sitting there waiting that makes us all a little nervous I think. Nice sneaky shot Babs.
September 5th, 2015  
Sneaky, sneaky Babs, but well captured.
September 5th, 2015  
Well done. Great painting on the wall.
September 5th, 2015  
It must be the book that takes her fears away, just wait for another seconds ...
September 5th, 2015  
She is deep into her book...did you notice what she was reading. I love people watching...took quite a few people shots while waiting for Old Faithful to blow in Yellowstone. Got some interesting ones...I may make a collage of them....so much to do now that we are home! Good to be home though.

@taffy @pippie @bella_ss @golftragic @sdutoit @yaorenliu Thanks. She did seem rather relaxed, but I bet she won't be when she gets the bill, ha ha. Endodontics are so expensive.
September 6th, 2015  
@eyesmile Thanks Gena, tried to see what she was reading, but she kept that bit well hidden. Glad you had a great holiday.
September 6th, 2015  
That sounds painful. Hope he's ok now. What a pair you are! Thoughtful pose from the lady!
September 7th, 2015  
Waiting to see the dentist, well how relaxed is that! Nice candid.
