....today's reminder to self.....

Reminder to self:

WHEN you give the nurse your concerns and ask that the Doc ring you--you can expect that'll happen within an hour's time.
It would be GOOD to tell folks to disturb you from the meeting for that phone call.
Yeah........well, I didn't......so I called back and he was with a patient.
And then he rang back within the hour AGAIN.
<--second time was smarter and told the staff to pull me from the meeting! (I AM teachable!!!!)

"How about you come in this afternoon."

Could we make that tomorrow?

"How about you come in this afternoon?"

Doc--tomorrow would work better for me.

"How about you come in this afternoon?"

Right. How about if I come in this afternoon!
Ummm..........Doc? Can I tell you that you're scaring me?

"How about you come in this afternoon....we'll do some tests, we'll talk. Save tomorrow for some other tests."

Righhhhhhtttttttttttt......





I do feel better after talking with him.
I'll feel WAY better after we 'rule out' some things.

I told him I wouldn't give him any guff (cuz I've been known to give him LOTS of guff.....) if he wanted to send my information on to Rochester for consultation purposes.



I was.... cooperative?





That speaks loudly, huh?













I ain't tellin' himself and you can't make me.

I, Like The View said...

I'm wondering why you don't want to tell The Brit

not nagging you to tell him, but asking why you won't. . .

not that it's any of my business

and it isn't

but I'm still wondering

I've said enough

probably too much

I'm sorry

for speaking out of turn

hugs
