What Sort of Doc Do You Think I Am?

Lady, the long plastic thing hanging by my exam table is a freakin' shoehorn. It's 2 feet long to help my Parkinson's patients use it without having to lean too far over.

IT IS NOT SOME SORT OF VAGINAL SPECULUM.

And no, I ain't gonna do that, either, to help save you a co-pay. I do what I do for a reason, in case you missed Monday's post on it.

You want that kind of exam, call ER's Mom.

    How does someone ask that? Hey, mind sticking that thing in my vag and taking a look around?

    "Is this a speculum? Cause I'm overdue for my pap, anyway, and didn't know you do those, too."

    Wow. I'm speechless at such a blatant display of stupidity. What part of NEURO reminds someone of GYNE?

    Looks 'bout long enough. Could probably use it for some of my more "petite" patients.

    If that's what you're using for an examining table, then no wonder some of your patients are strange.

    Thank you, Mr. Web. I used a filing cabinet for some sense of proportion in the picture.

    This post is just plain hilarious. I always get a kick out out of the craziness of it, but sometimes I can't help myself with bursting out.
