Dr. Grumpy: "Is the new sleeping medication helping?"

Mr. Stats: "Absolutely!" (whips out iPad) "As you can see from this graph, I"m sleeping 22.8% more than I was before trying Dozaway, and here... (swipe) it shows how I'm falling asleep 17.3% percent faster, and on this next screen... (swipe)"

  4. I am seeing commercial potential here, Whips out I Pad and announces sleep 22.8 % longer with Dozaway.

    I pads are almost as addictive as most sleep products.

  10. "And, thanks to the iPad's camera and some image processing software, I can keep track of all my bowel movements and sort them by time of day, size, shape, color, and buoyancy. Should I show you the charts, or maybe you'd like to jump straight to the iPhoto gallery?"

  12. I just don't understand how he actually keeps track of when he's fallen asleep; does he make a note when he's in REM?

  16. Patient: Well, last week, oh I'll just show you.

    Me: Er?

    Patient: "This was my diarrhea last week, I had, like 8 like this in ONE DAY. (swipe) Then three days ago, it was like this. (swipe) This was this morning. Do you think I have an infection?"

    Patients have also brought pictures of: worms they have passed, blood on toilet paper, vomit, hemorrhoids, and normal bowel movements so that the "curvature" could be examined, "because Dr. Oz said there should be a curve to your poop."
