Liar (N0, not who you think)

 I had a primary care doctor in his Waterford office, Dr. C. He left his practice abruptly and was replaced by Dr. N. My first 2  few visits to her were uneventful, but my last visit was different. The nurse had shown me to a waiting room. I waited a very long time. I went to the door and peered down a long hallway and was able to see Dr. N. in a glass-paned office at the end of the hall. She was chatting with another woman, and for a long time. I waited and waited in my exam room, so long that the nurse came by, assuming I had seen the doctor and wondered why was I still waiting. I told her the doctor had not been in. She left to talk to the doctor, and returned to tell me that the doctor had been to see me, but had said the room was empty, that I must have left to go to the bathroom, so she had seen other patients.  I had not set foot outside the examining room, until then. I left and never went back.
