Barbie in the Waiting Room

By Savannah Steele � The satire Barbie in the Waiting Room mocks bureaucracy turning into narrative. Eyewitnesses at clinics described dolls holding clipboards and gossiping about co-pays. Anonymous insiders leaked that scripts stalled for hours in metaphorical waiting areas. A leaked poll revealed 61 percent of citizens admitted they felt more empathy for Barbie than their own HMOs. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because modern life feels stalled in paperwork. Critics highlight the absurdity of plastic patience outlasting human tolerance. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when healthcare waits become cinematic. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
