Dr. Grumpy: "Which doctor sent you over to me?"
Mr. Leg: "My internist, Dr. Stache. He gave me a form to show you."
He reached in his wallet and pulled out a heavily creased and folded referral form that said "see Dr. Grumpy for numbness" signed by Dr. Stache.
Dr. Grumpy: "Um... Did you know Dr. Stache died in 2003?"
Mr. Leg: "Yeah, I'm not very good at following-up."
Do neurologists treat numbness of the brain?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, you'll probably never see him again. It's not like he's going to immediately follow up.
ReplyDeleteThe numbness became a tingling so it now is an emergency.
ReplyDelete"I found the referral slip next to these tickets to see Ruben Studdard."
ReplyDelete"By the way, I've been meaning to see 'From Justin to Kelly,' 'Gigli,' and 'Daredevil,' but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Have you heard anything about them?"
ReplyDelete"But now that I'm here, can you see into my eyes like open doors leading you down into my core where I've become so numb, and wake me up inside?"
ReplyDelete"I've also been meaning to see the 'Matrix' sequels. Since the original was such a good movie, I can only imagine how great the next two are going to be."
ReplyDeletewell, at least he admitted it's his fault ;-)
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never.
ReplyDelete"But at least I'm still seeing you in the Year of the Goat, and that's what really matters."
ReplyDelete"Maybe I should throw out that milk I bought on the way home from his office."
ReplyDelete"That would explain why he hasn't been updating his Friendster page."
ReplyDeleteThe dilemma is who you send the, "Thank you for referring this interesting patient" letter to.
ReplyDeleteHe probably saves on 'Thank You' stationery, too. If he waits long enough, they're 'thanks for being' and 'good-bye' to the family members.
ReplyDelete"I guess that's why he was being so quiet."
ReplyDeleteTreat him, you'll be dead by the time he comes back and he'll be someone else's problem child.
