We Have a Winner!

My secretary Mary saved this awesome message that came in over lunch hour.

Slurred voice: "I need to make an appointment to see Dr. Grumpy. I take lots of pain medications, because I'm in constant pain, sometimes. But I'm not taking any right now, because my pain is so bad that I can't take my medicines. I've run out now, but still have plenty, but think I might need more."

I told Mary that if they call back to tell them I don't take their insurance. Even if it's cash.

    "But I'm not taking any right now..." Is that because you went with the illegal stuff you get from the guy in the van?

    It's a remarkable collection of contradictions.

    Just when you think you've heard them all...

    If you're too drugged to keep your story straight, you do NOT need more pain meds.

    Some people's stupidity is good for a laugh. Not everyone's stupidity, because it's usually annoying, but this is priceless.

    Getting care from a physician in private practice (as opposed to an ER) is a privilige. Some people simply don't deserve that privilige.

    I have this ex-cop who takes 150 oxycodone 15mg every 10 days. He claims he is dying of bone cancer. He tells me every time how terminal he is. damn, he is the best looking terminal guy I have ever seen AND he has no oncologist. Just some GP giving him Oxy 15....

    sounds like he needs to pee in a cup at the local ER, followed by either a trip to the psych ward or a stay in a medical ward with a pychiatric consult.

    Maybe he has switched to the OTC variety from the local liquor store.

    Come on, the person is in so much pain, they can't think straight. Oops, time for my dose of Soma, Tranxene and Vicodin(s).
