Whatever

Mrs. Sad: "Some days I feel like I have no one to talk to."

Dr. Grumpy: "What do you do when that happens?"

Mrs. Sad: "You mean when I have no one to talk to?"

Dr. Grumpy: "Yes"

Mrs. Sad: "I talk to someone about it."

    Perhaps you could prescribe her a course in basic logic?

    If by talking to "someone" about it she means her 12 cats, then it probably makes more sense :)

    I was thinking that she talks to a professional, which is helpful, but it isn't really anybody. They are paid to listen to you.

    Maybe that was her issue?

    Sounds like variation on a common theme in your practice. Wait, make that 2 themes: 1)contradiction; and 2) the obvious.

    1)When I have no-one talk to, I talk to someone.

    2)When I take a pain-reliever, I have less pain.

    By the way, did Mary REALLY call you a "dipshit" after she discovered you asked her to fax your records to your own number?

    when I have no-one to talk to, I'm usually quite happy about it, because I love to be alone. But if I'm feeling lonely, I open up the internet connection.

    ...usually, the hospital switchboard at 3AM, till they figure out that I have no real reason for calling and put the phone down so I can ramble till my heart's content.

    Poor Mrs. Sad. God bless you, Dr. Grumpy. I have a feeling you are a lifeline to her and many others.
    You sound like a doctor who cares.

    Now, Mr. Pancake, on the other hand . . .

    Obviously contradicted- yes, she did. We've called each other far worse.

    After all these years we've reached a level where we can say anything to each other, and no offense is taken.

    Some days the only thing that keeps me awake is trying to think of a better insult to send her, in response to the one she just sent me.
