Dr. Grumpy: "Do you have any other medical issues?'
Mrs. Rudeandcreepy: "I have special powers."
Dr. Grumpy: "Excuse me?"
Mrs. Rudeandcreepy: "I have special psychic powers. I can read minds. I'm very good at it."
My inner voice: "Lady, if you were that good at reading minds, you'd have walked out of here 5 minutes ago."
Perhaps she had her neurology and psychiatry appointments mixed up?

Oooh. I would have had fun with that one. Did you?
ReplyDeleteSend her to Randi! She can get a cool million bucks!
ReplyDeleteOnly by posting it.
ReplyDeleteI've learned it's pointless to argue with these people.
Next time she comes in maybe I'll wrap foil around my head.

In 1986, a psychic won a lawsuit against Temple University Hospital on the complaint that a CT scan, performed to diagnose a headache, reduced her psychic powers. She was awarded a $988,000 settlement.
ReplyDeleteIf her psychic abilities were so great, why couldn't she diagnose her own headache, and why did she agree to get into the scanner?
Anon 1:12 - maybe she saw that she'd get money if she did...
ReplyDeleteSomebody needs to make a documentary about you. It would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteHelen- regrettably, I'm not sure my day is any different from what the average neurologist sees. I just write about it.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you don't have the special power of making patients like disappear when they show up in your office.
ReplyDeleteBut then you wouldn't have fodder for the blog...and that would be very sad!
@1:12 - I saw an interview with an undercover NYC police officer from the bunco squad. She said that she'd visited any number of so-called psychics, and they'd told her all sorts of fascinating things; but not a single one of them ever said, "You're an undercover vice cop and you're here to arrest me."...
ReplyDeleteI once had a kid in my car pool (2nd grade, maybe) tell me he could read my mind because he had psychedelic powers.
ReplyDelete"Like." This was a good one. Short but perfect.
