Vaccination in the city = bachelor party?

It was the week leading up to Nick C.'s wedding and I had to meet my brother in the city for the pre-wedding party. It was a bachelor party, of sorts, although obviously I am not a bachelor. I told my brother that I needed to get the car washed after work but before heading into the city on Tuesday, the night of the party, but he told me that I didn't have enough time and that I could wash the car later in the week because the getting to the party on time was way more important.

So, of course, I tried to get the car washed before the party anyway and I had to wait on a line in this area where there were power lines above me and I was really worried that I was going to develop a form of cancer from the radiation.

I also had to get some sort of vaccination once I was in the city - actually, I had to get a whole group of us, I think it was the entire party, vaccinated - and it was a struggle to organize it because there were so many people. The P.R. guy from Phoenix was the doctor that was administering the vaccinations and I would only get it from him because he was the only doctor there that I trusted, so I waited for him in the waiting room. The nurse drew some of my blood for testing purposes before the vaccination and then I was told to come back in a few hours, so i walked around the city - the doctor's office was in the city but not in the heart of it, so there wasn't as much to do in that area - and there was a river or sorts off to my right and I saw a killer whale diving in and out and all these tourists were taking pictures.

When I got back to the office, I asked for the Phoenix P.R. guy/my doctor but they told me I'd have to wait longer so I started to freak out, thinking that they were going to lead me to a different doctor, so I left.
