12 - Orono Weekly TIm.e~ Wednesday, Ootober 19, 19~4 acquaintance with Kingsten and more particularly the Kingston General Hospital. 1 had every confidence it was going te lbe a good report se sat back te enjoy the trip and relax. Widb sen-in-law, Ken, at the wheel this wasn't bard te do. 1 could look up for birds and either side for the autuma colours that may appear. Half way te Kingston we did drive by some fine autuma colors on mid-size maples. No one tree was a mass of celour but it was as if someone had taken a big round sponge and splashed each tree with a bletch ef red, yellow, brown and in many cases with a stark green in contrastte Uthc other coleurs. In a way they leoked like clowns in the fields. Wby am 1 writing about KGH agaîn? I'm not really4for it is about human nature as 1 found it starting with the first uine-up te obtain clearance fer needed X- rays. The process was being held up by an elderly weman who was insisting that it was hier day te have an X-ray. On the other side of thie counter the secretary was insisting that she did net have an appeintmnent and as such did require a referral frem lher decter. There was ne give or take on either side. Finally the secretary agree-d te get the doctor's phone number and with a rapid tongue the seven digits were rattled out - "and den't forget te dial 9 first". 0f course it was a lest effort and one had te feel sôrry for the elIderly woman whe had ne chance te get the numbers and was finding it difficuit te get the secreta-ys attention back At least four minutes must have passed when a yeung man sitting aleng the side of the bal came over and said, 'Il cial the number for you', wbich lie did. How in the world could he have in the first place registered the numbers in bis mind and further te remeber it for at least four minutes befere çialing it. 1 had te just shake my head and was se thankful that semeone like that was in the group. "First deor te the left and they will cail you when ready'. Se off 1 went te enter the first door te the Ieft te. a small reom, twelve cbairs and eleven people waiting fer x-rays. 0f course I bad te make a comment, "It looks like a busy day for the X-ray department". Net a word i reply and in most cases flot a head raised from ivading or staing at the floor. Fer at least twenty minutes 1 waited with eleven others witbout a word being spoken. Finally it was my turn te move on for the x-ray and then up to the doctors' fleer and the waiting room. Tbree of tbe waiting people were three of those that 1 bad seen reminded me of a song, 've Grown Accustomed te Your Face". Possibly thîs was ail that was needed te bteak the freeze that existed at the door te the left. Aise thiniking about the young man with die memeory there is one that lives in Orono that can tell the licenseplate numbers of'a vehicle seme minutes later after passing. Gord Milis states it was his police training that developed thîs trait.
