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."

Funny stuff!
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. Did Einstein really say that or was it same anonymous neurologist?
Welcome back! Hope to see more of your posts this year
Perfect. Reschedule her, tell her the same thing. She'll have her second opinion and will hopefully accept it and then stay off the roads. If only....
(don't let the pesky ethics of it get in the way)
My heart does soar when I see new posts come up. Thank you for the much needed smile this morning :)
Appears as though some of your fans have not forgotten about your blog.
I too enjoy the wry bittersweet postings , Happy New Year
Me too. I check every day to see if there are any new posts. Also like the posts from the kids and the Skool Nurse.
"I have a good feeling about you. When I saw that your number was already in my phone, I knew it was a sign from God."
They say with Alzheimer's you can hide your own Easter Eggs and you meet new friends every day. Now you can add, "You can get a second opinion from the same Neurologist."
