Beans Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The thread about the flu shot brought to mind the practice of reading the magazines in doctor's offices...I don't because most of the people there are sick with sumpin' or another...Do you ???

crappieperchhunter Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) No I don't Beansie. Most times they never have anything I'm interested in anyway. A few years back my daughter got me into doing Sudoku puzzles, so now if I have anything that involves sitting around I grab a Sudoku book and bring it along.

lew Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I read them if I remember to take my reading glasses into the waiting room LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirCranksalot Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 My doctor's office has thrown out their mags for that very reason---or so I was told when I asked where all the 2 year old mags were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew3 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I sit as far away from others as I can and try to keep my hands in my pockets. And when leaving grab a dose of the sanitizer opening the doors with my elbows. I don't need to pick any bug up or pass one along. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have no idea how many Readers Digests I have read sitting in waiting rooms over the years, it was the first thing I would look for when I got there. Now I have a smart phone and the first thing I look for is a WiFi connection LOL, the world is in my pocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not any more. Seems the only magazines at the Dr's offices consist of health periodicals, fashion and gossip rags. Can't remember the last time i saw an outdoors mag or Popular Mechanics. Mind you the dentist is a hockey freak, so there is always 1 copy of Sports Illustrated. Tried to donate my old copies of OOD for reading in the hospital and was told the content was deemed "inappropriate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Ha ha haa,,, a fun topic Beans! I always bring a book. It's almost always a hardcover fishing book. I'm into carp fishing now so I have a pile of British carp fishing books that I've ordered through Amazon and, with Doctor's appointments being what they are, you're usually sitting there for an hour or two before you get in so I get a lot of reading done! I'm surprised how few people come prepare and almost never see anyone reading in a Doctor's office. Texting, well, that's another matter...

Beans Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I also will bring my own book or magazine...I have six sessions of BCG treatments coming up soon...reading gives me sumpin' to do while I'm waiting for the catheter to drain my bladder...

MJL Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I bring my own magazines, books and sometimes my dad's tablet when I go to the hospital. Stay in an open place away from people who are coughing and sneezing.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I haven't read a paper copy of anything in years other than a newspaper. I download to my phone or tablet and away I go! No snotty magazines for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeGuy Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 What about sitting on cloth chairs? If stuff can come out of people, maybe it could find it's way back into the next guy. Might be good to sit on a magazine instead of a cloth seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostAnotherOne Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I remember a few years back I saw a bunch of magazines outside the doctors office on the floor so I decided to take them home. My mom found out and gave me crap and said that I was trying to get everyone sick in the house cause they were covered with bacteria and boggers.
