I received an odd, and rather moving, compliment from my Medical Assistant yesterday.
We were doing an after-action review at the end of a very long, difficult day. We were commiserating over the habits of a certain kind of patient who tells the MA what they're here for (a single, simple problem), but, once the provider is in the exam room, pulls out a list of fifteen items, all of which they want evaluated in a single clinic visit.

My MA told me how "the patient will tell me one thing, and then you get into the room, and they see that soft, beautiful, caring face, and they add all kinds of things onto the visit!"

I pulled a bit of a face and muttered "...soft?...beautiful?..." and the rest of the team laughed. But I wasn't laughing inside. It was a very sweet thing to say. Just the kind of thing to lighten up what had been a very hard day.


 :lmao:  the pretend Dr.

(The weight I gained during COVID-19 caused me to lose my cheekbones). But beautiful? Purely subjective, I'm thinking.

Have you noticed that DU-ers rarely post personal pics anymore? One gets enough trolling PM's from the filth at Conservative Cave, and one retreats behind anonymity again.


Awwww who is sending pretendadoc "Trolling PM's"?  Come on, fess up.

Too late on the anonymity pretendadoc, we know who you are.

Why do DU-Denizens care or even know about our mockery of their stupidly-crafted lies, self-inflicted tribulations, delusions of relevance, and foibles? :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

I have no clue whether any DU-Denizen has commented about me and don't really care if someone has. It's not like they have a femtogram of power over me. Or understanding, for that matter.

If you show your ugly mugs, we'll show ours. In a related issue, if ICE/HAMAS protesters are so brave to chant and toss Molotov cocktails then they should show their faces. Then and only then will ICE officers will take theirs off. Deal?

If true and that is a big IF. Sounds like the MA wants to play hide the salami submarine down to to tuna town.... or fudge town.
