"My headaches only happen when I'm sleeping, and are gone before I wake up. I don't remember them, either. So when I wake up, I don't know if I had one or not."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Sounds like you job is done then!

How do you keep a straight face? Do you hide behind the chart while you laugh/roll your eyes?
Years of practice.
Huh?
So exactly HOW does this patient know that he/she should be seeing you for headache treatment, then? Or, for that matter, if the therapy is working? "Huh?" is right...
OMG!!! Where can I sign up for those
headaches!! Some people! Was she
referred to you by the men in white?
Is this patient looking for narcotics??? Heaven only KNOWS what dread conditions affect me in my sleep!
Do these headaches effect sleep?? If not, can I exchange mine for those??
For a short while I was sympathetic, but it was a very short while... I used to have headaches in my sleep, but they actually woke me up and were very real; This guy's , what a joke!
"I also generally don't know where I am, how I got there, or what kinds of fluids I'm covered with."
"But my wife keeps telling me, 'Not tonight, dear, you're going to have a headache.'"
Neuralgia on Elm Street.
"And my fortune teller told me to go buy a bunch of lottery tickets the morning after I have a headache, so it's really important that I know when I have one. The sooner I win the lottery, the sooner I'll be able to pay you for this appointment."
"By the way, does your wife also keep a woodworker's vise by the side of the bed?"
Wish I had those headaches.
Traveled this weekend and my son's girlfriend commented that I moan in my sleep sometimes. My son said, "Yeah, she does that a lot when she has a headache."
Unfortunately I still had it when I woke up and I remember it! Can you fix me like that???
BTW: Does she think that there
will be a huge discount on your
fees if she does not actually
feel the headache, wake with headache or have all the drama of
trying to control said headaches?
B*tch!! What a waste of time! Did
she want the 'good' stuff for them?
WV: TORANI New migraine drug???
Maybe Toradol in new form for those that don't feel headaches.
Sorry again for this ... B*TCH!!!
A slap in the face today, woke up
felt migraine and have since since
then....RANT: B*TCH! B*TCH!! There
sorta better!! LOL! Ouch... : )
Would you happen to be good-looking?
