Cayuga Medical Center at Ithaca-Convenient Care Center
It’s not every day that one must make a visit to the Convenient Care medical center which is located just around the bend from Ithaca’s Tompkins County Regional Airport. The most amusing thing about the place is the way that they treat those waiting for someone to come out of the care area. There is a large supply of coffee and tea on a table near the middle of the waiting room. Twice in the two hours I was there I was offered crackers and small snacks from a women carrying a basket who seemed oddly remniscient of a flight attendant.
I feel quite sorry for the people at the receptionist desk who have to deal with the people who come in and appear to either be on a large amount of drugs, or are just plain out of their minds. I was scared that while waiting, I would fall asleep and find myself in the back of a van headed for the border of Mexico. It is clear that the center attracts people from all walks of life, and though this is a convenient facility, a visit will surely take several hours and one will be left wondering it it’s safe to close one’s eyes even for just a moment.
