Patient quote of the day

"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."

    How do you keep a straight face? Do you hide behind the chart while you laugh/roll your eyes?

    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...

    "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."

    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... : )
