"It’s not like things are worse, I mean they are, but it’s not like that, or maybe it is. That isn’t really the whole problem, because it’s only the whole problem when it’s worse, which it isn’t. At least not most days. The whole thing is just there, especially when it isn’t worse, which it is, if you know what I mean."
And no, folks, this person is not being seen for a cognitive problem.
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.

Can you be more or less specific?
Maybe. I mean, yes or no.
Sounds like a high school term paper.
make sure you dictate that just to drive the transcriptionist crazy.
I'm dizzy now.
what would be even more interesting is if you actually understood all of that.
Paging Dr. Abbott. Dr. Bud Abbott. Please report to surgery.
The frustration of chronic illness... I know what they mean.
I accidentally pulled one of these on my neurologist the other day. That's what he gets for scheduling my appointment so early in the morning.
You aren't the only one with this problem... I get calls like that all the time.....
I know what you mean, except I kind of don't, you know?
I don't know how to send this to you, Dr. Grumpy, other than in a comment.

There's speculation that this is a stroke in action. What do you think?
No idea. I'm just a yak herder.
Chernobyl plant operator to his boss , just before.............
Well, that was clear and to the point.
I hope you were able to make the thing less when it was there, and more un-severe when it wasn't worse.
"And did you ever think that the whole universe could just be an atom in someone's fingernail?"
In the psych. world, we call this a "mixed episode." Frustrating for both patient and the person treating the patient.
The sad thing is that I kind of understood all of that mumbo jumbo... LOL
I can't tell if this is too much Ativan or not enough Ativan. Or Haldol maybe.
The sad thing is... I have a chronic illness, and I could have said those exact words to one of my docs. That's really scary! lol Guess it's a good thing I don't see a neuro - there might be lots of tests in my future, otherwise!
Wow, Dude, I want some of what he's having
Pilots have a useful little phrase for when they don't hear something clearly in communications with Air Traffic Control: :"Say again?"
I have found that it is quite a useful phrase when not in an airplane cockpit, and if I were you, I would have used it right then...
ahh.. I understand.. this is why I've started making exact notes of what I want to say before I go to my doctors appts
Aaaargh!
Sounds like me. It wasn't me, was it?
;)
Is that person blonde, perhaps?
Heard a radio ad last week claiming I could get my floral arrangement done by an "Artisinal Floral Expert". That's a new one.
