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)"
Oh my, those kind of people scare me. ;)

At least he's keeping track?
ReplyDeleteI am seeing commercial potential here, Whips out I Pad and announces sleep 22.8 % longer with Dozaway.
ReplyDeleteI pads are almost as addictive as most sleep products.
"But that's nothing. Since I started keeping track of this, you should see how quickly and how often my wife falls asleep. In fact, I think I have that chart right here..."
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's an app for that.
ReplyDeleteThis of course is awesome.
ReplyDeleteDayum, that's some good data.
ReplyDeleteAt least you know a. he's compliant and b. the stuff works.
ReplyDeleteScore for the Yak Herder and her/his little pills.
Been there. Done that :-/
ReplyDelete"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?"
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....now the patient needs something for that anal retentiveness.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDelete"And, thanks to the iPad's camera and some image processing software, I can keep track of all my bowel movements..."
ReplyDeleteSo you bought the iPotty thingy for yourself, anon, instead of the kids?
...was this Sheldon Cooper by any chance?
ReplyDelete"And my 'nerd-idity' factor went up by 112% when I got this iPad!"

ReplyDeleteMe: 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."
