I often think that part of becoming a doctor is to ride themselves of common sense.

You're up and kicking early for a Saturday. I have a couple of apointments this AM, otherwise I would have tried to sleep in.

I hate to say it, but a lot of doctors are incompetent, or they simply want a new Beemer. They also can be an arrogant lot. Then again, some of them are quite good at what they do.

I've drawn my conclusions from watching them deal with my wife. And listening to her. As a RN she deals with them daily, and she has a very low opinion of more than a few.

Myself, I pretty much avoid them at all costs. While they can be arrogant, I can be quite blunt, and this doesn't make for a good combination.

Besides, I'm not of a habit to pay someone to piss me off.

Sometimes the doctors can be extremely accurate. They sent me for a brain scan and said the results came back negative.

Keep in mind that they're just "practicing" medicine.

Guess we lucked out, mine does not even send me for tests anymore, just checks me out and says "Get out of here, you're bad for business"

Aww, shit...Don't get me started...Well, ya kinda did, so here goes..I'd just like a straight answer, IN ENGLISH, from these fools...When I had my stroke, I never could get ANYONE in the "Health Care Profession" to slow down long enuff to tell me whathehell was happenin'..."You've had a stroke.." was about all I could cadge from 'em. Well, whadda I do now ? Go dance a jig, call the undertaker 'n' tell him to bring his prettiest Big Tulip, go 'n' jack off on a flat rock, WHAT ?!? Quit actin' like EVERY situation is a potential life & liberty-ending lawsuit waitin' to happen...Same thing when you go see yr GP...5 minutes & you're out the door, after waitin' to see him for 45 minutes-hour & a half...Shit, I can't even remember half the questions I wanna ask...Give me some stuff that'll make me FEEL BETTER, like something that'll stop the itching this time of the year...And Grump, only ONE new scrip ? Shit, you got off EASY...

Sounds like I'm lucky. I have a doctor named McCoy. No joke. I call him Bones. Maybe be brought some technology from Star Trek with him. He had me on meds for BP and Cholesterol a few years ago, but told me all I really needed was more exercise and better diet.

I just had spaghetti for breakfast and I'm running eight miles today. Hope to stay out of sick bay for a while.

Don't mention diet, in the morning I get coffee then a bowl of raisi bran flake. A bowl of fruit for lunch then a regular dinner. So far this week it has been rack of lamb, coq au vin, lobster tails and last night stuffed pasta (forget the name). Real tough being married to a cordon bleu chef.
