Please Refrain

When I get into work this morning, I will be posting a sign that says,"Please Refrain From Using Cell Phones In The Waiting Area". I was hoping it would not get to this but it has. A few weeks ago there was almost a fist fight between 2 patients over one of them talking loudly on his cell phone. These were two businessmen and I would have never believed the language that came from both of them. Yesterday, a woman patient spoke so loudly that the entire staff now knows all of her personal business. When you are in a public place, just sit and wait your turn without having to amuse yourself. If you feel the need to make a call, step outside for a few minutes. We all have enough of our own problems without having to hear yours.
