Warning: Un-Professionalism Ahead
Recently, one of my besties sent me a funny picture the other day and it said: "Ask your doctor if getting off your ass is right for you." I can't tell you how badly I want that as a bumper sticker- or on a the back of a workout shirt. I really, really want it. No matter how offensive and unprofessional it really is. It's how I feel.
I'm currently 6 weeks into 3 year and I can't shake the feeling that most patients don't listen to a DAMN thing their doctor says to them. (Qualifier: Yes there are patients out there who DO actively participate in their own healthcare. They're just seem to be few and far between). Thankfully, most patients actually seem to be pretty pleasant at the very least.
Today at work there was a snake in the office. Poor thing got stuck in one of the sticky insect traps. The Doc and I tried to get the little guy unstuck. But it didn't work. So we had to put him out of his misery. It was pretty sad. :( See... sad face.
Anyway, I really wish that I could find a way to enjoy being in this clinic type setting a little bit more. I tried to tell myself today that shadowing follow up visits was a great way to really solidify pharmacotherapies... that only worked for a few hours though.
In other spheres, Evy starts pre-school next week. sweetness. But when the hell did my pudgy-wudgy baby/toddler grow up?? How did that happen? What am I supposed to do now? We also endured our very first, and unfortunately not last, encounter with school shopping. So not cool. There was this one very loud and obnoxious mother in the aisle who kept saying "Highlighters! Whatchu need HIGHLIGHTERS fo? Whatchu highlighting in da first grade? I don't remember using me no HIGHLIGHTERS in da first grade. This is ridiculous. I ain't buying you no HIGHLIGHTERS." I felt pretty bad for the little kid. It certainly wasn't his fault that his list included highlighters. But the woman was making the biggest stink about it.

You SHOULD get that on a shirt! Mostly so I can give it to a certain person, who will remain nameless in my own family. But seriously, so true.
You think your life is sad? I had to look up the word "pharmacotherapies". Feel better? Ya, you should.
That woman, sounds like she never made it out of the first grade. People are so unedumacated out here it's ridiculous. Poor kid. But, I'm glad you found your "jumbo" pencils. :)
