the things we do in private practise!!!!!!

yesterday i had a patient for mammogram,who came accompanied by 2 relations.
i had just opened the centre, the technitian was late, and settled down to my lunch with the morning newspaper , when in walked the 3 of them, i hurriedly closed my lunch and opened the mammo room with the key, switched on the lights and saw a big fat rat sitting on the stool. with patients outside the room, i couldnt show any expression. i closed the door ,hoping the rat would take off the way it got into a locked room.
after 5 mts, i again opened the mammo room, and saw the rat in the same position , spitting and hissing at me, maybe it had hoped i would go the way i had come in and leave it in peace.
i decided enough is enough and shut the door, got the brrom and chased it around the room ,whacking it all the time , making the least noise possible and at last it gave up. i pushed it behind the table where the patients could not see it. and switched on the mammo machine , turned around and saw the rat was missing , it was still alive.
luckily it was too weak and a few more whacks with the broom took care of it.
i shut the door, went out ,gave a sweet smile to the patient and got the mammo done after the technitian came.after the patient left i had to carr the rat outside as my technitian refused to touch it.

due to the presence of the patient , i could not reveal the presence of the rat, nor could i act ladylike and stand on the stool and scream,and shout for help as i could have done if i was not the owner of the centre !!!1
