Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, we should have the test results later today, so I'll check back afterwards to discuss them. Who's your regular internist?"
Mrs. Fainting: "It's Dr. Olde."
Dr. Grumpy: "He's still practicing? Wow. Okay, I'll call and let him know you're here and what's going on."
Mrs. Fainting: "You don't need to. He was in ER across from me. They were putting him on life support."
When I was on my Internal Medicine rotation in med school, a patient came in wanting a refill on a med that was no longer made, prescribed about 10 years earlier by a doc who was no longer alive.
