Mary, make an appointment for her
It is never a good sign when:
The Monday before Thanksgiving a drug rep who sells Alzheimer's medication drops off a jack-o-lantern bag full of cookies, with a note that says "Happy Halloween!"
Maybe the drug rep is using the drugs...it could happen! I have a few doctors I would like to refer. In fact, one is a neurologist. He loves to say "the patient is aphasic and nonverbal." His other favorite line, "the patient has no history of stroke or CVA." Is redundancy a neurologic disorder?
Maybe he's just trying to beat the rush for next year ::headdesk::

ReplyDeleteIt may be and it might be.
ReplyDeleteAs a coping strategy, she should change the note to read "Happy Next Halloween".
ReplyDeletemaybe its time he dips into his own stash...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she was trying to get rid of all the darn halloween candy/cookies/etc! I finally had to take my leftovers to work! It went FAST there!
ReplyDeleteDamn brilliant, says I. She made you think about it, didn't she? Score one for subtlety, even if it's done in a rather quirky fashion.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Happy Easter!
