Waiting Room Cell Phone

Tick, Tock, that was the only noise that I could
hear for the past few hours. I lifted my head, and
glanced once again at the empty seats of the
waiting room. As the ticking of the clock
continued I began to feel my heart thumping to the
rhythm of the clock. I waited for that door to
burst open, and for the doctor to come out to
reassure me that everything is fine. It all began
an hour before when I was dragged out of class and
driven to a hospital by a taxi. Nobody had
bothered to tell me what ...

Examination Of Liposuction And Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
1,285 words
Fat cells lie beneath the skin throughout the
body, but accumulate in greater amounts in certain
areas. When we gain or lose weight, we are not
adding or subtracting fat cells but rather
changing the amount of fat within each cell. It is
not surprising, therefore, that many people find
that in spite of the weight they lose, they are
left with bulges or fat deposits in undesirable
places. Liposuction surgery is a technique that
uses a high suction attached to special probes
which are passed throu...

unmapped and rather frighteningly populist
territory. All this sprang from the barely hoped
