Mary's Desk

Tuesday afternoon

 

Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."

Ms. Loid: "This is Amy Loid, and I want to cancel all my future appointments with Dr. Grumpy!"

Mary: "Okay, I can do that, let me..."

Ms. Loid: "He told me and my family that I have Alzheimer's disease, and now they won't let me drive! I'm going to get a second opinion from someone competent!"

Thursday morning

 

Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."

Ms. Loid: "This is Amy Loid. I need to make an appointment to see Dr. Grumpy, I need to find a new neurologist.

Mary: "Uh... I...  okay, let me check with the doctor about this, we're, um, busy with the new year and all."

Ms. Loid: "I hope he'll take my case. I really need a second opinion. The last neurologist I saw was a bozo who said I had Alzheimer's and shouldn't be driving."
