Dr. Grumpy: "Sir, these headaches you've recently had sound like migraines. I'm not convinced they're from a sports concussion 15 years ago."
Mr. Macho: "Of course they're related. It's post-concussion syndrome! You see it on the news everyday. I didn't have headaches before my concussion."
Dr. Grumpy: "But your concussion was 15 years ago, and your migraines started in the last 6 months."
Mr. Macho: "Stop saying they're migraines! I don't have migraines! Migraines are for women!"
Dr. Grumpy: "That's not true, sir. Guys get migraines, too. I have migraines."
Mr. Macho: "Then you're a pussy!"
(walks out of my office)
They're SPORTS migraines.
ReplyDeleteJust wait till you get your period!
ReplyDeleteCrime, jury, judge and all. You have the case all wrapped up, and it's all based on several television advertisements. You should be so lucky that he doesn't have satellite.
ReplyDeleteSend the discharge letter now before he has time to come back and disrespect you again.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance!
ReplyDeleteHave people always been this stupid? Or is it because nice folks like Dr. G have devoted their lives to sharing Stupid Stories with us?
ReplyDeleteHave your billing person send him a coupon for Motrin and a complementary box of Tampons with his billing statement.
ReplyDeleteHey...awesome: Dr. Pussy and Dr. Pissy.
ReplyDeleteYou dodged a bullet there, Doctor G.
ReplyDeleteI think his migraines are due to the uber-high dosage of testosterone he's been taking to prove his man-hood.
ReplyDeleteSo were you his 4th second opinion or his 5th?
ReplyDeleteI wish my migraines would just up and walk out of my life. You dodged one Dr. G.
ReplyDeleteI seriously do not get the abuse I read about here from patients. Incomprehensible. I want my doctors to help me and being mean, rude, and/or discourteous seems like it could be detrimental to the relationship. I want them happy to see me (but unhappy they HAVE to see me).
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is a new class of headache. Transitional Intelligence Anemia Cerebral syndrome (TIACS). Causes: Transition of healthy pink brain tissue to a greyish color due to lack of utilization or improper use.
Symptoms: Asshole-dom, Douchebaggery, and occasional displays of "Hopeful litigant excuse seeking wimp syndrome"
As someone who gets Migraines (in clusters even) I would have sympathy for him except his voluntary TIACS.

ReplyDeleteTell him they're MAN-graines.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteSome of the things patients come out with...
That gave me a headache . Big time.
ReplyDeleteI think we've identified the source of Dr Grumpy's migraines.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteNow we know why you get migraines.
ReplyDeleteIf it werent subject to statutes of limitations I think we would all think the same thing regarding his motivation to get the label he wants. But otherwise his agenda escapes me.
