Iatrophobia

People seem bemused when they see me sit and knit.
“I don't have that kind of patience,”
they say. I just nod in acknowledgment.
I don't really have a lot of patience.
I am sitting knitting in the waiting room because
it makes the waiting disappear. I like to knit.
I hate to wait. It makes me nervous.
I fall apart and cry. I'm trying to not have a fit.
The doctor's office is my most unfavorite place to be,
even if the appointment is not for me.
