Humpday Humour : It shouldn't be this hard.

[El Presidente]

I have my Cardiologist appointment Friday so time for bloods and pee specimens. 

I love my local doctor. It's a busy surgery with  .....let's call it a "vibrant" patient demographic,  half of who are lining up  for their prescribed govt hit. 

Dr. Thet is a a superb doctor with an absolutely wicked Burmese accent. You have to pay attention at the best of times.  However since Covid and behind the mandatory mask I have zero idea of what he is saying. I might as well have  Marcel Marceau consulting me. 

So Marcel hands me a specimen cup and from what I understand wants me to fill it up and bring it back. I asked if I needed another appointment but he shakes his head side to side and points to his shoe.  I assumed he didn't want me to pee on his foot and hence meant "NOW". 

He puts the little cup in a big bag that says "URINE SPECIMEN" and points me to the other side of the shopping centre to the mens bathroom. All two stalls are used, and so I make the decision to try and fill the cup at the urinal .....while holding my scripts/phone/.  No, I didn't drop my phone. I dropped my scripts into the drink. Off to the bin they go 

Ok now walk  across the shopping centre back to the surgery carrying a big see through  bag stating "URINE SPECIMEN" now complete with a "vibrant" example of vitamin induced fluorescence.  There is no hiding this  bag nor it's contents. 

I get back to this office, he waves me in, I pass over the bag, I assume he is happy, I explain what happened and ask for replacement scrips. He sits me down and commences to explain to me the dangers of overmedication. 

I took off my mask and asked him to do the same and he did. I explained again.  He cracked up laughing and wrote out the new scripts. 

For the love of God it's only Wednesday morning

Just be thankful you were not having a fertility test!

Reminds me of a friend who worked at a hospital pharmacy in Edmonton a few years ago. They were on alert throughout the city as a scrip pad was stolen from a doctor. The thief was quickly caught 3 hours later as he showed up with a scrip for 10kg of 'mofine'. 

Don't imagine he would have made it to the 4 hour mark had the ridiculous order been filled. 

Thanks for the memory!

Cheers

HaHa.  Yea, it is difficult with the masks and my hearing is not what it used to be.  Cardiology next month for me.  Ortho today.
