Sunday morning, 5:58 a.m.

Dr. Grumpy: "This is Dr. Grumpy, returning a page."

Ms. Simon-Bond: "Hi, Dr. Grumpy... there's a dead cat on my back patio."

Pause

Dr. Grumpy: "Why are you calling me?"

Ms. Simon-Bond: "I... I guess because I didn't know what to do about it."

Pause

Dr. Grumpy: "I didn't know you had a cat."

Ms. Simon-Bond: "I don't... I don't know whose cat it is."

Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, this really isn't something I can help you with, or even a reason to call me."

Ms. Simon-Bond: "My internist said the same thing."

If a neurologist gets crazy calls like this, what must psychiatrists get?

Of course - find a dead cat on your back patio then the first person you call is your internist and the next would of course be your neurologist. Maybe she needs to call the undertaker next? - or maybe her pharmacist?

She may need a forensic pathologist, and to stop using rat poison in the yard.
