Waiting again

It's after five o'clock, and we're still in Interventional Radiology where we've been all day. The central intravenous catheter in Jimmy's chest was supposed to be re-installed this morning, but that didn't happen until mid-afternoon, and for the last few hours we've been waiting to move to our room here in the hospital. It was supposed to be available much earlier, but the poor patient that's vacating it is still waiting for his wife to come get him.
We're the last ones here except for a handful of employees. If the abandoned patient is not retrieved soon, maybe we'll be here all night: a grim prospect.
