"When things are the same they're the same, but when they're different they're not the same."
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.

'Duke of York' by any chance?

It's the same, only different.
One of these things is not the same, one of these things is not like the other... Sesame Street, Live?
Very astute, Mr. Cleft.
SSDD.
+5 Insightful
....and, let's not forget, when they're the same, they're not different.
Same Circus. Different clowns.
Dear Doctor Grumpy:
I have a question and I do not mean to be overly nasty, but have you been projecting a state of obliviousness to your patients , given that they need to explain these elementary concepts to you on a frequent basis .
Totally the same unless they are completely different
But, there is a chance in the odds that it could've been both the same and different, too. Sorta. Kinda. Maybe?
Whenever i see something like this, i am reminded of shopping in Thailand. ""Same Same but different"" is often used in negotiation techniques when trying to sell you a lesser product/ fake knockoff for the same price you were negotiating for the display.
