The five people in every clinic waiting room are always there, and yes, you are one of them. So am I. There is The Early One, who has basically moved in and has been seated since Tuesday. There is The Researcher, arriving with a laminated list of questions that I genuinely respect, and I will happily answer every single one. There is the Nervous First Timer, texting her sister in capitals while pretending she is fine. Then there is The Regular in loungewear, who knows the biscuit drawer personally and honestly, same. And finally there is The Winger, who books “something, whatever you think” and hands me her whole face, which is flattering and absolutely terrifying in equal measure. Tell me which one you are, and if you are the Researcher or the Nervous First Timer, send me a message and I will talk you through what to expect before you even step through the door.
