1483
A waiting room at the Eye Clinic
A child crying incessantly in A&E next door
A forty five minute delay
A silence between phone calls
A stream of names called out for treatment
A gradual emptying out
A check to see who's left
A wait
A distant voice drifting to the empty chairs
A doctor says goodnight
A cleaner empties the bins
