Dr. Grumpy: "Are you left handed?"
Mrs. Bluehair: "No, I'm very strongly right handed. I've really never been able to do anything coordinated with my left hand."

I think you and I share the same idiot patients.
Ha!
I think I should schedule an appointment - suddenly I can't sing in tune.
That's the opposite punchline from the old "will I be able to play the violin" joke.
"Doc, will I be able to play the piano?"
Speechless.
The difference between you and my Student From Heck last week: you asked about handedness at that point. (Or, for that matter, the ability to read/write...)
It will be a long rotation for us all. And it is only 2 more weeks.
So this is "suddenly" as in "any time in the last twenty years or so", right?
Maybe she's a doctor. Apparently, you don't need much coordination to write.
Actually this incident is Dr. Grumpy's fault. If he hadn't asked if she was left-handed she wouldn't have shared this information.
Of course, then he would probably base his treatment on a faulty assumption, but at least he wouldn't be confronted with such bizarre statements!
Maybe she really needs to be seen. I mean, she did forget that she doesn't usually write with that hand anyway.
