but they listen so well at the doctor's office...

I know this doesn't really have anything to do with thyroid or adrenals, but

I found it amusing. It seems to fit in with doctors and their staff not

getting all the info. or looking at the entire picture. :-)

Bubba Had Shingles

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this!

Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices

like an assembly line? Here's what happened to Bubba:

Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he

had. Bubba said: " Shingles. " So she wrote down his name, address, medical

insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a

nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, " Shingles. "

So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told

Bubba to wait in the examining room. A half hour later a nurse came in and

asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, " Shingles. " So the nurse gave Bubba a

blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to

take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor

came in and found Bubba sitting patiently in the nude and asked Bubba what

he had. Bubba said, " Shingles. " The doctor asked, " Where? " Bubba said,

" Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload 'em?? "
