Some healthy plants...though he might want to be careful, some people are highly allergic to mold in soil..like my partner. Nice if people could face a window, rather than have their back to a window. A fantasy might be...a skylight. He should have a contest with a local design school for college students. That focuses on friendliness, professional clean-cut lines and economical. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Actually, I like brighter lights so I can read. Maybe one area of the waiting room with brighter lights, and one area dimmer? Padded comfortable chairs. No molded plastic. And whatever else happens, NO TV!! _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Meredith, your comment about no TV reminds me of something that happened in a doctor's office a couple weeks ago. There was some loud mouth on a talk show and it was blaring in the waiting room. Hubby and I were the only ones in there so I got up and turned it all the way down. I stepped outside to get a call on my cell and when I returned, it was blaring again. Apparently the staff was listening from behind their desks. What a turn off! I've been in offices where the doctors have pamphlets on common illnesses. I think that's a good idea. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	You won't believe this but my doctor has just wired her waiting room for computer access stations. She has a huge salt water fish task full of the most beautiful colored fish, and plenty of lovely plants. Its like a resort hotel patio. Don't care, still hate all doctors.

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	I believe that every Doctor needs an approachable receptionist who is happy to welcome you and make you feel comfortable. Not one who acts too busy to notice you're there. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~
