My favorite doctors have been those with somewhat colorful language who tell semi-inappropriate jokes. I would much rather have a doctor like that than one without a sense of humor and a stick shoved so far up their ass they've given themself a lobotomy. A doctor's competence is much more important than their personality.Chelseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-70911259214925060032015-09-25T00:56:08.843+03:002015-09-25T00:56:08.843+03:00Well trolls do tend to be difficult buttheads.

It felt like cramps (except that I'm in my 60s). I'd say 2 or 3 on the scale of 10. I came into the ER about 8PM and they were going to fit me into the surgery schedule around 1AM. No problem. Nothing had burst or threatened to do so.<br /><br />EVERYBODY who came into the room asked if I wanted morphine. I had had morphine before (when I had a kidney stone) and it's wonderful stuff, but I declined--I didn't need it, and I wanted to keep my wits about me. They kept asking. I was fine reading my book and I kept saying thanks, but no thanks.<br /><br />When I got home, I mentioned the repeated "pushing" of morphine and my older brother, who is an ER doc, said, "That's standard practice, to keep you quiet and out of their hair." mutzalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-40096923864894532292015-09-22T01:08:07.365+03:002015-09-22T01:08:07.365+03:00Well that's a first.
