"I've been having headaches, you know, and like, stuff that I get with them, you know, all that stuff that happens with my headaches, like, you know, it hurts, and I don't feel good and stuff, you know, and like, can you do stuff about this? You know, like, pills or stuff or something?"

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.

Like you know I think maybe that person was like my 16 year old daughter.
Like, I think, like you know, this person like, trolls for pills or something.
Pills 'n' stuff, you know.
like you know how it kills my ability to talk to you when you like you know use that phrase--like you know--Oh, you like don't know.
Wonder if I should try this approach with my surgeon, you know. Think he'll, like go for it, you know? LOL
That person sounds like me on topiramate.
do you wake up to take these calls?
How old is this person? 13? Call back when you can talk like a grown up. I know migraines messes with the ability to think but this is rediculious. I suffer daily and am more coherant.
Didn't you want to tell her to, you know, stuff it?
Was this your patient? So, what was the point? Did she/he know, and were they able to let you know eventually? Like you would know.
I would have been so tempted...
Like, you know, you sound totally 80s Valley Girl, dude.
Like, you know, I don't do narcotics especially at this hour.
*Click*
This is just slightly less coherent than a phone call I made to my doctor when I was in (physician-ordered) withdrawal from SSRIs and out of my mind. But I called during working hours.
Yeah, I was on this weekend. Saw many slightly ill people. Had one of our favorite (she says sarcastically) frequent fliers at 3:30 am. Called an ambulance for a sinus headache. Really. Our tax dollars at work.
Well, like, come on, Dr. Grumpy! Do your stuff and help this girl out!
sadly, verbal communication skills, like auscultation skills in the arena of too-cool testing, will continue to decline thanks to texting....
Mary will like so schedule you for you know like an appointlikement.
Bring all of like you know your insurance info, and you know, 750 dollars, for you know, bail money.
