THE WAITING ROOM – CHARACTER BASED COMEDY ABOUT A DOCTOR’S WAITING ROOM

Welcome to the waiting room of the local doctor’s office. The clinic serves a hodgepodge of different patients. MOST of them have appointments, like the elderly woman in a wheel chair trying vainly to escape receiving a flu shot and the husband who mistakenly booked his wife in with a proctologist instead of a pediatrist. But then again, there are some that simply do not have an appointment and just arrive. For instance, the drunk who wanders in mistaking the clinic for a police station, followed closely by a go-go dancer from a local strip club. Unfortunately for them, there’s an undercover cop present, just waiting for his physical. But he has to content with a host of other odd ball patients and some annoying ones, like the lady who lets the whole world know her business as she argues loudly on her phone. But in the end, they all have one thing in common. They’re all waiting for the nurse to come and say, “Thank you for waiting – the doctor will see you now,” in this character based comedy about a doctor’s waiting room.
