Ok so it's been over 18 months since my stroke and I went to visit my doctor this past monday (she needs the cash) She says to me "well dys, the meds you have been taking have given you chronic nausea as well as chronic fatigue but haven't done a damn thing for you heart condition so I'm changing your meds to some others that will also give you chronic nausea and fatigue but might help your heart." "Swell" I tell her, "so, what'a my prognosis?" "Well, she says, "I way I see it you will live for another 22 years and then the Lady Diane will suffocate you with a stuffed capybara or you will walk out of this office and fall dead from another stroke/heart attack or in 2008 durring the summer months you will be run over and killed instantly by a blue-hair drving a Buick while talking to her cosmetologist on her cell phone in the parking lot of the grocery. I need a drink, bbl.
and that's why i haven't been to a doctor in about twenty years, i plan on just waking up dead some morning
well not exactly waking up
djjd, keep an eye out of toe tags when you wake in the morning.
And this is what Dys gets even without health insurance.
By the way, my love, I have some extra pillows that would be good for the suffocating part.
So that's why women always have all those damn decorative pillows.
Last time I went for a checkup, the good doctor scheduled me for a colonoscopy.
And the Lovely Bride asks me why I haven't had a checkup since.
I hear about these people they call doctors, but have none of acquaintance. I figure if I could walk into their office I ain't all that sick, so why waste the time and money?
It's called redistribution of wealth. What the hell kind of socialist are you?
...I dunno about the "redistribution" part.
It all seems to be flowing in the same direction.
I put it down as charity, I'm sure, as a woman, she is not paid as well as the men docs (this also gives me a tax deduction I could not otherwise claim)
You guys have it all wrong. I read the obit column every day to see if I'm still alive. Damn the doctors and the meds. It's been proven many times that meds has just a good a chance of killing you as letting you live a few more days. Use the money to enjoy your life more - that's the real secret, but keep checking that obit page in your local newspaper.

I've got the journey through mine on DVD......cheap hire rates, if you're interested?
Good man! You paid her; she told you you had chronic nausea as well as chronic fatigue. Where would we be without doctors to keep us up to date on stuff like this?

No thanks.
I already know how it comes out.
Dammit Dys!!!!!
Just pull your finger out and get better!!!!
I've had more than my fair share of doctor visits lately. The most recent one was yesterday. "How's my blood pressure?" "Not bad." "Compared to last time?" I ask. "You can't count last time. You were half dead."
(Direct quotes.) I was only half dead. Better than all the way I guess.
I'm dealing with side effects of side effects.
Doesn't the doctor give you stuff to help with the side effects? Which, btw, wouldn't be so bad if the medication worked in the first place.
I'm hoping that the newest medication helps your heart. Then you can worry about the other stuff.
I WANT YOU TO BE BETTER.

Do you really think the IRS will allow you to claim your Dr as a dependent? :wink:
