Doctors

Today awoke in Edinburgh to a dusting of snow, and a cold wind. Up quite early to pay a visit to the Doctors with this sore back I have been experiencing. Arrived at the surgery in good time booked in and took a seat diagonal to where these two men were sitting. They were speaking quite loudly and I could not help over hearing their conversation. As both appeared fairly elderly and conservative I was somewhat surprised by the tone of their conversation. "Could never live in America" said one "never settle there, can't stand that fellow Bush! All those folk who voted for him in the Mid West-fundamentalist! nice enough people but little understanding of what they were doing!" "Hmm" said the other man "have you seen the film Capote a brilliant movie that I think explains a lot about social conditions in the Mid West?" "No'' said the first man "Though I will try to see it." with that the Doctor called him and away to the consulting room he went.
Truman Capote wrote one of the first Docu-novels 'In Cold Blood' about two guys who murdered this family in the Mid West it was made into a film of that name, now a movie has been made about the author, I think this is what they were discussing?
On looking around the surgery I saw a notice on the wall that intrigued me it stated 'For Health and Safety reasons' toys will no longer be provided for children to play with, just how far are we prepared to go on these issues?
