My doctor lived in his office. Seriously. He had an old Victorian house and he and his family lived in part of it and the other half was used as his office. If someone called him wanting to use his office scale, I can see it possibly happening.<br /><br />It was always really annoying having an appointment with him near dinnertime. I could smell whatever was being cooked from the waiting room and it always made me hungry. AND his cat had the run of the waiting room as well. Every time I was there that damn cat would sit on me. I hope he had no patients who were allergic to cats! <br /><br />Ahhh, the fun of living in a small village in the middle of nowhere in New York State. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-88622206338983502942010-08-25T18:58:18.377-04:002010-08-25T18:58:18.377-04:00Wait, so neurologists don't sleep in coffins i...Wait, so neurologists <i>don't</i> sleep in coffins in the back of their practices?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242563090108381347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-81433200547493497642010-08-25T15:07:16.007-04:002010-08-25T15:07:16.007-04:00I think it's a case of the first two, third ro...I think it's a <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/KatsKats/7062870" rel="nofollow">case</a> of the first two, third row down and the last one.
