I was surprised this morning when I went for an annual checkup at the doctor’s office to find that they’ve started using bookshelf speakers to send the music throughout the office. They always had music piped in from who knows where and it came through speakers on the ceiling, but the music coming through the bookshelf speakers was much more modern and sounded better than anything they’d had in the past. When the doctor came in, I commented on the bookshelf speakers and he smiled. He said it was his wife’s idea, and that they also had plans of putting a widescreen HDTV in the waiting room so that people could watch the local news while they were waiting. He said his wife had discovered online shopping and the amount of money that could be saved and had started ordering things for their home and then the office. He seemed very pleased and I couldn’t blame him one bit. My check up was a good one and unless I get sick I don’t have to go back again for another year.
