I suppose I should have a patient of the year award, but since I've only been doing this for a week I'll start with a patient of the month.
The winner is (drumroll): Bill and friends!
Bill is a pleasant 90 year-old fellow who's blind in one eye and has severely impaired vision in the other. He's also mildly demented.
Because of the vision and cognitive issues, I sent him for a driving evaluation last month, which he failed miserably. So he lost his license.
So today he had a follow-up appointment. He came in to my office (which is pretty small) with a bunch of friends from the VFW (like 8-10 of them). All were well over 80 and were wearing their VFW hats. All came to give me glowing testimonials as to what a wonderful driver Bill is (I suspect he's the chauffer for the group).
My favorite line: "Doc, Bill drove a tank all over Germany. He's perfectly safe".
Why doesn't any of this stuff happen when I am there?

Gotta give him credit for coming up with a plan B.
ReplyDeleteLOL. "And in what decade did this tank driving occur? oh, 1942, is that right? Well...that changes *everything*"
