Four Pains

In the medical history, the doctor wrote, "he has had this pain, pain, pain, pain for many months" ....Personally, I think that three pains would have made the point. Four pains is just being silly.

One of my patients tonight was wandering around his room stark naked except for a yarmuke. At least he had his priorities straight. Heaven forbid that his head be uncovered.

Another patient wanted his gown tied in back. He turned around and he was wearing a black lace bra and black lace thong panties. Patients almost never wear bras with their gowns and if they wear underpants, they're designed for comfort. Just who was this guy trying to impress? Not me, apparently. ;)


A patient's wife brought us a platter of pad thai for dinner. I love pad thai. It's funny how pancit and pad thai are both greasy rice noodle dishes, but pancit I can barely tolerate and pad thai I'll actually order without a gun pointed at my head.
And then, after filling up on noodles, we were given muffins. I feel so sick now.
