January 2, 2018

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

Mrs. Mycelium: "Hi, I have to cancel my appointment for this afternoon. I'm having an emergency!"

Mary: "Okay, do you..."

Mrs. Mycelium: "We went to take our Christmas tree out, and discovered THERE WAS MOLD ON IT!"

Mary: "I'm sorry to hear that. Would you like to reschedule now or..."

Mrs. Mycelium: "You act like this is nothing! THIS IS MOLD! I already called 911, and the girl there had the nerve to tell me mold wasn't an emergency!"

Mary: "Why don't you call me back when..."

Mrs. Mycelium: "I put the tree outside, but the mold may already be taking over my house! Do you know the number for a HAZMAT emergency? I can't find one!"

Mary: "No, I..."

Mrs. Mycelium: "Then can you call 911 for me? I bet they'd take this a lot more seriously if the call came from a doctor's office."

Mary: "I can't..."

Mrs. Mycelium: "OH MY GOD MY DOG IS OVER BY THE TREE! FLUFFY GET IN HERE! I need to go to the vet now!"

The line went dead.

Wait, we were supposed to bring frankincense, myrrh, and GOLD?

With the introduction of biological weapons, we've just entered a dangerous new phase in the War on Christmas.

"Please hang up and dial 211 - not 911."

Hey Dr G,
When you take 2 weeks off, do your subscribers get a 45 cent refund?

Your readers' comments never fail to amuse me. Such intelligent, witty humor. Well played, players!

The delineation between Psych and Neuro can be rather nebulous at times and has changed over time. Much like the borders of Eastern European nations in the past 200 years or so.

Have you ever wished, if you had a do-over, that you'd become an anesthesiologist instead? So that when you were on the job you could just put the crazies under and enjoy the quiet?

Such a sheltered life. I wonder is she recently learned how to identify 'MOLD!!'.
