				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When dealing with the crumbling health infrastructure of the declining USA, you have to take your jollies wherever you can find them. </p>
<p>Left unattended in the exam room for 1/2 hour, after showing up on time and standing in line for 1/2 hour just to check in (everyone was at lunch, the counter harridan eventually spat at me) and cooling my heels in the waiting room for an additional 45 minutes, I was not in the best of moods. </p>
<p>So I compensated by messing with all their shiny, expensive gear. Guess Kaiser blew the bank on all the cutting edge (but empty) rooms around me (this place is so vacant it feels almost post-Nuclear), and skimped on actually staffing the place up. </p>
