Lately, I've spent a large amount of time in hospital and GP waiting rooms - this is to do with ageing also putting on weight. I ought to pay for a season ticket for my own chair . The main difficulties I have with waiting are bustle, sounds, boredom, too many people I don't know, the waste of time. How could waiting rooms be made positive or useful? These are my ideas but please share yours - the more outlandish the better:
1. muscle stimulating devices attached to each chair, to 'exercise' arms and legs
2. community jigsaw puzzle for visitors to help complete
3. ditto knitting or crocheting squares for charity blankets
4. a points system [like supermarkets] allowing you to upgrade waiting times, get a prize - pack of vitamin B or D, or hospital lottery ticket
