To make you Laugh a bit

hi, all, I wish I could hug each one of you. I have surgery for my cyst next week a laproscopy.  But to make you laugh. I went for my "pre" office visit. My husband was with me. They KEPT ME WAITING IN THE EXAM ROOM WITH NOTHING BUT A GOWN ON for 50 FIFTY minutes. First he pitched a fit and then I did. He used words like "incompetent office" "this happens all the time" "the phones must not be working" "leave her sitting there naked like an animal waiting to be butchered"

not to be LESS dramatic, after he began his tirade (I was waiting for the PA not even the doctor, I went flying out into the hall, flapping around naked and made sure the waiting room heard my entire litany. She was like "calm Down, the physician's assistant had an emergency"

I said "I have MS and surgery scheduled next week, what more of an emergency is there? I can't drive well in the dark, you have had me sitting here for 50 minutes, I have had enough, if it weren't for the surgery, I'd be dressed and out of here, you INHUMAN um, AH'S"

So, while I am out? They will probably sew my mouth shut. And also, I called my gastroenterologist who I adore. I know he IS NOT A cancer specialist or a GYN, but he told me that it would be a "rare thing for a malignancy to be part of a cyst, and most of them are removed prophelactically" which some of the woman in here will attest to. Anyway, Wish me luck next week. Oh I also said haha get this "if I get in an accident on the way home because of the damage done to my eye from the MS, trust the fact I will sue  this office for not scheduling my appt correctly.

and coincidently (NOT KIDDING) someone handed me this, on my way out of the office on my way to that hellish, doctor's office. I wish I could have brought this in with me.

peace

More and more doctors are running their practices like an assembly lines. One fella walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aid came out and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room. A half-hour later a nurse came in and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, told him to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and asked him what he had. He said, "Shingles." The doctor said, "Where?" He said, "Outside in the truck. Where do you want 'em?"
