Let me tell you about my doctor He is very good. If you tell him
you want a second opinion, he will go out and come in again.
He treated one woman for yellow jaundice for three years before he
realized she was Chinese .... .
Another time he gave a patient six months to live. At the end of the six
months,
the patient hadn't paid his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.
One time my doctor examined me and told me I had walking pneumonia.
I asked what to do about it. He gave me some pills and said, "Here are
some pills.? Take two every three miles."
While he was talking to me his nurse came in and said, "Doctor, there
is a man here who thinks he is invisible." The doctor said, "Tell him I
can't see him."
Another time a man came running in the office and yelled, "Doctor,
doctor, my son just swallowed a roll of film." The doctor calmly replied,
"Let's just wait and see what develops."
I remember one time I told my doctor I had a ringing in my ears. His
advice: Don't answer it.
My doctor sure has his share of nut cases. One said to him, "Doctor,
I think I'm a bell." The doctor gave him some pills and said, "Here, take
these.? If they don't work, give me a ring."
Another guy told the doctor that he thought he was a deck of cards.
The doctor simply said, "Go sit over there.? I'll deal with you later."
When I told my doctor I broke my leg in two places, he told me to
stop going to those places.
You know, doctors can be so frustrating. You wait a month and a half for
an appointment he says, "I wish you had come to me sooner."
Sillä elämäni aikana olen niin paljon kokenut ja menettänyt, ettei turha pelko minua vaivaa.
