I didn't do that. Someone else must have been using my computer.

Been wasting my time with a bunch more doctors and such. How are you,
my dear? And how's Crash doing? They sent this latest round of stuff
off to Mayo. Or am I just craving Mayonaise? I think that's what
they said.

only warning for these? Do not take this medicine if you have liver
disease. I think I need to look for a new doctor.

That takes me back to our ESL classes when the teacher showed us the word
'violin'. Several students attempted to pronounce it without success. Then
she got to my smart ass brother who promptly replied "fiddle".

Somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout...But there is no
joy in rec.food.cooking--mighty "AlleyGator" has struck out.

I knew a guy who referred to his back padio as the "verandie."

I used to come over to his house, and see him out on the back porch,
sitting in a lawn chair, sipping Busch Light. "Step out here on the
verandie, won't you?" he'd jestingly say. I had sex with his daughter.

Muuuuum, can we keep it, pleeeeeease?

I know it puked in the kitchen and
did wees on the carpet and
did a big poo in the lounge and
bit a hole in your handbag and
scratched all the wallpaper and
dug up all your flowers and
dribbles and smells all the time and
basically doesn't know his base from his apex

but he's so *funny*,
and when you scratch his tummy *here* his little leg
goes *really fast like this*

And shoot that one too so they don't mess anyone else up!

One of the docs at our practice I will no longer see - I might kill him next
time he patronises me, looks symptoms up in a little book and prescribes
what it says, even though the symptoms he looks up are NOTHING LIKE I'D JUST
DECRIBED. I went through a week after seeing him last time, with a very,
very painful chest infection (I'd had already for a good while, to give my
body a chance first before hitting meds), just getting worse and worse so
much it hurt to breath or even use my right arm (he prescribed me an asthma
inhaler!). I went back and insisted on seeing a doc I know is good and
helpful - his thoughts on my problem matched mine exactly and he prescribed
precisely what I expected - within a week I was well on the way to full
recovery.

Actually, it's a little disappointing, because he's been my doctor for
about 15 years and he's an exceptionally nice guy. I think most of
his thoughts are now focused on retirement. Spends all kinds of time
with you, obviously cares about his patients, goes and grabs a chart
or a book to show you when you have questions and so on. My mom is
ticked at me because I won't sue him for mis-diagnosing my liver
problems for 3 years. I told her "ya know, if he cut the wrong leg
off or something I might consider it - he's not God you know".
They're only human, they generally do the best they can, and why in
the world anyone would want to be a doctor or a cop is beyond my
understanding. Thankless occupations, IMO. In this case, however,
he's lost my trust and I'm just gonna have to move on - nothing
personal.
