    Hey, what about the things the patients are saying? I treasure my OB because he suspecialized in endocrinology. A co-worker once questioned why I would go out of network and pay my office pills out of pocket. Just change Drs, see Dr Smith. I said, Dr Jones has seen me for years, he's managing my issues just fine, and when I want a family, Dr Jones is the only one I trust to get me pregnant. Ooops! We just looked at each other and started laughing.

    x-ray was in my patients room the other day and they said something that I have heard hundreds of times, but for some reason it really struck me funny... could have been lack of sleep, but anyways they said "we need to get a quick picture of your chest" I guess I had never really thought about how that sounded before, we all got a big laugh out of that one. The x-ray tech said that another one people comment on a lot is when they say that they are going to "shoot them"

    Two things I said today:

    "I need a screw right here"...Well, I did. And maintenance still hasn't put it up! (Oh lord, that sounds even worse!)

    "I have a discharge" (Been said here before, but I never thought about what I was saying!)
