Mary's Desk, January 3, 2012
Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."
Mr. Vertebrae: "Yeah, I have an appointment with Dr. Grumpy on Thursday, and am trying to decide if I should come in."
Mary: "Okay, are you still having problems?"
Mr. Vertebrae: "Yeah, but I don't know if it's worth the drive. What do you think?"
Mary: "Well, I recommend you come in, but I can't make that decision for you."
Mr. Vertebrae: "Well, I'm just not sure... What do you think? Don't you have a medical degree?"
Mary: "No, sir, I'm his secretary. I have a high school degree."
Mr. Vertebrae: "A high school degree? And you work at a doctor's office?"
Mary: "Sir, you'd be seeing Dr. Grumpy, not me, and he's a board-certified..."
Mr. Vertebrae: "Just cancel the appointment. I'm going to an office with qualified staff."

Technicalities
Mr. Webster: "I have a question. There's an error in your last note."
Dr. Grumpy: "What's wrong?"
Mr. Webster: "In the 3rd paragraph you said Fukitol made me tired."
Dr. Grumpy: "Yes..."
Mr. Webster: "It didn't. It made me sleepy."

Sunday hot tub reading
A recent study showed a protein (called PZP) increases in the blood as an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. I'm not bashing this research at all, because most neurologists would love a simple, reliable, blood test to offer patients.
However, the same protein also increases in one other human condition.
Pregnancy.
And I just can't wait to tell someone "The labs show you're pregnant. Or have Alzheimer's disease. Or both."

"Hi, I'm a patient of Dr. Grumpy's and I need him to call in some migraine medicine. I'm at a bar, and the loud music is giving me a headache, and the DJ won't turn it down, and I don't want to leave 'cuz I already paid my cover charge."
