I know that panic feeling. My Doctor called me for the first time, two years ago. I received the good news that I was still Cancer free! But when he called I was in a panic.
Reminds me of trying to put eye drops in my eyes. I can’t see a thing without my glasses, so I couldn’t even put the eye drops in my eyes. Kept dripping on my cheek, so I gave up until I talked to my eye doctor. She told me how to put them in my eyes. Not much easier the way she said though. Still hit my cheeks more times than not. Plus, I’ve got a pressure spot on my check from wearing glasses and nothing I do makes it go away.
Nearing the end on my fourth decade as a medic and firefighter. Love it when people who spent an hour or two going down a rabbit hole on the Interwebs tells me they know more than I, with all my training, knowledge and experience.
LoL----I read an article recently very similar to your sentiments. Written by a former Navy Corpsman, and now a long time EMT, he was going off on some youngster who was a very new graduate of EMT training, and trying to school a crew of Firemen and Medics on their "improper" procedures. I would have loved to hear that conversation in person. Be well. Stay safe.
Man I’m a dang 90 year old man in a 21 year old’s body. I complain about back pain, hip pain, good lord I fell asleep on the toilet a few times for new reason. And lord forbid someone offers me a soda, or talks about the gas prices because I can tell you about when gas was only a dime a gallon.
In my late 40's, I got a weird, what looked like a bunch of rashes on my arms. Went to the doctor, he gave me some cortisone cream. Two weeks later, no change so I called him back. Went in and he used a punch tool to do a biopsy. About a week later, the nurse called me and said, oh, it's "x." I never had heard of it, had her spell it out for me. Got another appointment set up. This was in the still early days of the internet. Went into the appointment, the doctor asked me how I was. Told him, I looked it up on the internet and said, "Oh shit, it's got an online support group." He nearly doubled over in laughter...
The only time I get calls from the doctor's office is when they forgot to charge me $10.00 for a co-pay. However, when I have an upcoming appt. i get at least 10 messages on several devices reminding me.😜
I got food poisoning about the time swine flu was going around. A Google search said that all the symptoms said I had it. Another Google search said I had morning sickness. I'm a male.
The missed phone call where they want you to call them back at your earliest convenience. I'm 36 and the thought of having to go for an entire weekend wondering what the heck they want would make my brain eventually jump to scary conclusions if I sit and catastrophize long enough about it. Yikes.
you can have a test on Tuesday or Wednesday if it's something bad they wait until Friday just as they are leaving to tell you, I did learn if you don't hear from them you are going to live
When I go to an appointment at my oncologist, it's always blood work first, then immediately thereafter, an in person visit with the oncologist. Then a few days later, a call pop's up on my phone. I'm concerned that something may have shown up and answer immediately. It's actually a kind of robo call asking for feedback on my visit. WHAT? They want feedback after stressing people? They are basically asking for a like, thumbs up? I hang up. There's your like.
I hadn't listened to Bill for a long while. Yep. Still funny.

"I had to put my glasses on to help me put my contact lens in." It had me laughing, and I can relate. 😂😂😂😂😂

My Drs keep giving me 3 to 6 months as long as I don’t do anything stupid. We want to see you in 3 months we want to see in 6 months 😂🤣😂
Bill has that comedic mind gifting...

This is funny because it’s true!
Miss you bill hope you’re enjoying retirement ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm 54 and I'm already there with the health worries and the aches and pains.

Mistake number 1: Checking your phone on the golf course.
Of all the plot twists I was expecting, I was not expecting that. 😆
I can really relate to this...I'm 71 yrs. old....lol
Me: Why do I sometimes start coughing after I eat?
Google: Here's how to perform the Heimlich maneuver
🤦🏼♀️
I'm still laughing! Hey Bill...what kind of sign would you give yourself over this???
First time I got blood work I thought the hard part would be the needle, but I was terrified about the results. Thankfully came back clean.
I can handle the hospital.
It's that paper gown that freaks me out!!🤯
Google Doctor is better than MY doctor!!🤭
Bill, tell your friend to get his breakfast sandwich next time at Whataburger .😊😆😂🤣😅
$10??!!! WOW!!!!! What insurance do you have?? I'd give anything to have a $10 copay!!!!
