You may have noticed that the old blog was a bit sparse last week. In fact, there were no blog posts last week at all.
Did you miss me? 
Actually, I had the best encounter with the medical care system I can remember. That’s unusual because in general the medical profession and I don’t get along very well.
I seem to get the weirdest maladies, and many of the doctors I have seen are far too quick to tell me to go home and relax because there’s really nothing wrong with me. I try that until I can find a doctor who will actually take me seriously.
The last time that happened, when I found that doctor, we had an exchange I’ll never forget. After I explained my symptoms, he asked me what medication I was on to manage the problem.
- I stared at him in amazement and said, “You mean there’s something I could take for this?!?!?”
- He stared at me in amazement and said, “You mean you’re not taking anything for this!?!?!”
It was pretty funny.
One of my favorite doctorisms is “You might feel some slight discomfort”. The translation for that phrase is usually “This will hurt like hell, but I’m too afraid to tell you”. It would be so much better to be prepared! But, I guess that would be too easy . . .
Ah, well. What can you do? Luckily, I don’t have a lot of health issues. Just weird ones.
