Sigh, groan. Visited the doctor today for the annual physical. Bummer. Is it a prequisite that doctors must be double jointed with super sized knuckles? Or is it just me?

Why do they keep the examination rooms so cold? It wouldn't be so bad if the wait were not so long. What is the potential they understand the reason home and hotel builders put heaters in bathrooms? And why do they put tie strings on the back of that little open back gown? Has anyone ever met a person who could tie the strings while wearing the gown? If I get in control, those gowns will be outlawed. With the AC blasting full bore, I needed a warm blanket and booties. Do you think he keeps his bathroom that cold at his home? Not hardly. His wife would throw his butt out on the street. I think I will change my annual physicals to the winter time when the heating system is running.

I timed him too (he made a mistake by not making me remove my watch). $400 for nine minutes = $2666 per hour. Well, to be fair, I guess I must recalculate to include the nurse and the noisy EKG machine. I think I could be a doctor just like him except I am not double jointed with super sized knuckles.

Just my annual bitchin.

I just love doctors too....they seem to scream the loadest then any other customer when handed the bill for auto repair.

A few years ago I had one doctor come in for some electrical work on his Mercedes. He looked at the the bill and said, "fifty-five dollars an hour for labor? I'm a doctor and I don't even make that!"
I thought to myself, "yeah, sure" and said, "neither did I when I was a doctor..."

Well, Wayne, I hope the prognosis was good. :)

Yeah, prognosis is good. Always is and totally predictable. That's why I gripe so much. The rocking doctor has moved to more expensive facilities and is therefore pushing more services/tests, within his group, of course. Interestingly, when I propose to use a doctor or facility he is not afffiliated with, he changes his tune about the necessity of the tests. How transparent can one be? And doctors are supposed to so honorable and upstanding!! When donkeys fly.
