(Reworked from a July, 2012 post with new cartoons.)
Many doctors
are like this:
I
would MUCH rather they were like this:
Are
they required to surrender their sense of humor in exchange for their medical
school diploma? I was at a doctor’s
office, waiting in one of the operatories, when he & his nurse came in. They told me they had an emergency & that
it would be a little while before they could treat me. They asked me if they could get me anything
while I was waiting. I told them a
margarita would be nice. No reaction
whatsoever! I wonder why they even
asked?
My
friend, Barbara, fell down the stairs. Only two stairs, but she managed to SHATTER
her kneecap—I guess she figured that something worth doing is worth doing well! She had surgery that evening & the next
day her surgeon examined her & told her to see him in two weeks. She made an appointment. She was in a rehab center &
confined to bed. She called her
surgeon’s office about the appointment & was told that he couldn’t see her
then—he was getting married. Barb asked
the receptionist if the doctor was getting married, how come he didn’t know
that a couple of weeks in advance? She
said, “It must be a rush marriage! Is he
pregnant?” Not even a snicker from the
receptionist.
He
may have been her surgeon:
Or him:
Do
you ever feel like this in a doctor’s office?
I will admit, some doctors are very thorough:
Things have changed in doctor's offices:
And they are always learning:
But they don't know everything yet:
Can you imagine if they went on strike?
The doctors said I've got this little piece of brain lodged in my skull, but when they get it out I'll be fine----fishducky
