No daring life-saving breakthroughs. No supply closet trysts. No Clooney. The documentary ?The Waiting Room? doesn?t contain any of the melodramatic flourishes that we?ve become accustomed to from TV medical dramas. But it?s still riveting and important viewing. The film doesn?t officially open in New York until the end of September and will be part of PBS? ?Independent Lens? series in 2013, but the UW-Cinematheque is hosting the Madison premiere of the film on Friday, Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. at 4070 Vilas Hall to kick off its humdinger of a fall schedule.
