![]() Thursday, January 10, 2008 :::
I found myself in a specialty health clinic waiting room earlier this week, where a middle-aged podunk couple sitting a few seats away from me were filling out their medical history chart. For some reason this couple did not understand the private nature of such information, so they both talked at full volume for the whole room to hear, as if their voices didn't have any subtler options between off and the-top-of-your-lungs. It went a little something like this: Podunk wife with clipboard and checklist: You got trouble sleeping? Podunk husband with hobo beard and missing teeth: Yep. Podunk wife: You got trouble waking up early? Podunk husband: Yep. Podunk wife: You got trouble staying asleep? Podunk husband: Yep. Podunk wife: Itchiness? Podunk husband: Yep. Podunk wife: Hot sweats? Podunk husband: Yep. Podunk wife: Pain in your joints? Podunk husband: Yep. Podunk wife: Tingling in your feet? Podunk husband: Just in my butt and legs. Podunk wife: Tingling in your hands? Podunk husband: Just in my butt and legs. Podunk wife: Tingling in your neck or head? Podunk husband: WOMAN! I TOLD YOU JUST IN MY BUTT AND IN MY LEGS!!! Podunk wife: Irritability? Podunk husband: Nope. But the worst part was when he would answer before she would finish asking the question, because it really made my mind race. For example there was this little exchange: Podunk wife: What color is your... Podunk husband: Yellow. Grody to the max. It's sad when I actually have to think the phrase "I hope they were talking about his urine." I am always fascinated by people who have a complete lack of shame. I got plenty to spare, in case anyone needs some extra. ::: posted by dan at 11:18 PM :: [ link ] :: (8) comments ![]() ![]() ![]()
