Well, no... not really. Just concern. I'm just in from a visit to my doctor and was asked the following questions during check-in:
So we did our bid'niz with the lovely Dr. Erika Garcia and got a referral to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist over in The Big(ger) CityTM. We have some sort of stubborn issue with one of our nostrils which involves a growth that resists antibiotic ointment and weeps a very small amount o' blood when I apply the meds. Cue the "It's always sumthin'" chorus.
Oh yeah. We also got a flu shot AND a pneumonia shot. The flu shot was painless but that pneumonia shot HURT. I have no ideer what's in the P-vaccine but it stung the bejeezus outta me.
Beer me!
Have you traveled to West Africa lately?Negative on both counts, Ma'am... and did our gub'mint mandate you ask these questions? "No," sez she, "but our management did." "Well, now," sez I. "How interesting."
Have you had contact with anyone who might have Ebola?

And sicker than a dog in??? Three... two... Everytime I get a flu shot, I'm down for two days...
ReplyDeleteThat's not ever happened to me, Jim... and I hope it doesn't start this year.
DeleteTook the P-vaccine (didn't sting--no neg effects) but I've NEVER taken the flu shot--and NOT starting now.
ReplyDeleteI never got flu shots, either... until I learned I had COPD. That was a game-changer for me.
