Commenter Mike Remski left a humorous comment on my “I’m Agreeing With NH Senator Cindy Rosenwald (D-Nashua)?? Why, Yes I Am” post concerning personal privacy vs the State trying to hoover up data on Moms that had just given birth. Had nothing directly to do with the post’s topic – except for “other questions” that might me asked by a doctor:
First [appointment] with a new Dr. He’s going through his list of questions, asks me “Do you feel safe at home?”
I answer “Yes, because my wife would kill me if I said No”.
It was beautiful. He completely froze for about 7 secs, turned slowly to see me with a huge grin on my face. Took 15 mins to convince him that I was just busting him.
Told my wife and she went to get the cast iron frying pan…..
I laughed – how could you not?
My doctor of almost 40 years retired and was assigned to another doctor in the practice that he had started. I was wondering if I was going to get that question.
I would have answered with yep – I have a CVN-65 (nuclear USS Enterprise (carrier), an A-10 (“Warthog”, Lightening II, close ground attack jet), an M1296 (Stryker armored personnel carrier) and a Mark 48 ADCAP (nuclear attack submarine torpedo).
Then let him figure it out that I was mimicking Mike Remski, just differently.
