I call it the “Pacer’s Speedway “. In layman’s terms it is a called a hallway. All rooms open to the speedway. It is where the wives of the patient go to talk on their cell phones. Incidentally I have never seen a man on the track!!!!
Pacers are easily recognized by their mindless intentional pacing from one end of the hall to the other, lapping again and again, with a cell phone glued to their ear. They usually are clueless to the other walkers, mostly looking down, intent in conversation about their loved one that is in a room that opens to the speedway.
Fellow members of the Pacer’s Club will identify with this marathon!
