Dr. Grumpy: "So... this visit is to follow-up on how you're doing with the medication - Fliniberzap - that I prescribed about a month ago."
Ms. Headdesk: "Yeah."
Dr Grumpy: "It's been a month, so how are you doing?"
Ms. Headdesk: "I'm not any better... I mean, I filled the scrip, but then I left it in a rental car and returned the car."
Pause
Dr. Grumpy: "So you haven't started it?"
Ms. Headesk: "Not really, I mean... no."
Dr. Grumpy: "Why didn't you just call so we could send a new script in?"
Ms. Headdesk: "I left your phone number in the car, too."
Cue Dr. G bashing his head against a wall...
ReplyDeleteI have a memory that is steel trap, I literally forget nothing, not where I placed something, appointment, dates, things to be done. I have an assistant who literally can’t remember that Wednesday follows Tuesday. I wonder sometimes if she remembers my name is something other than Boss. It makes for interesting dynamic in office and has made me become a patient person. How hard must life be for those lacking basic memory.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere out there is an employee of the car rental company, selling fliniberzap pills to other millennials. And if they like it, they'll be calling your office seeking refills.
ReplyDelete"Now that I think of it, this may also explain why I haven't seen my husband in the last month."
ReplyDelete"I also left my money and my insurance card in the car, so I hope you weren't planning on getting paid for this visit."
ReplyDelete"The funny thing is that it wasn't even my rental car."
ReplyDelete"Which reminds me- if anyone from the police calls you asking about a bank heist, you don't know anything."
ReplyDeleteThat's why you should never return a rental car. I've been telling everyone for years that being in a car is the only way to live, but do they listen?
