Hospital parking lot

Is this the emergency side or the hospital side of the parking lot, she asked.

I don’t know, the other replied. It is such a huge building.

Hard to say once we are underground, she commented.

I got my permanent placard this week, the other said. Look for the disabled parking spots.

They are all taken, she pointed. You’d think they’d have many more disabled spots in a hospital parking lot.

Bummer, the other responded. Now we’ll have to walk too far and I am so short of breath.

Should we pick up that wheelchair, she asked.

I don’t know, I can still walk, the other responded. 

Sure you can walk, she said. But we might as well take it. It’s not every day you cough up blood.

Alright, the other agreed. Which way do you think the elevator is.

It says elevator on that wall ahead, she said. It also says elevator on that wall way back.

Let’s take this elevator, the other said. At least it’s closer.

Once we are up on street level, we can find the emergency entrance, she agreed.

Do you have the parking ticket, the other asked. They might validate.

The insurance should really cover the hospital parking, she said. It should be part of the health coverage.
