What not to say

It’s a blessing in disguise Russell, keep the faith brother.

”But really, is that anyway to open a conversation with a patient on the phone, who just woke up?”

Well, she coulda said “Are you sitting down?”

Reminds me of the guy who went back to the doctor for his test results, and the doctor says “I have good news and bad news.”

The guy says “Give me the bad news first, Doc.”

The doctor says “Okay… you’ve only got six months to live.”

Devastated, the man slowly regains his composure and finally manages to as what the good news is. The doctor says, “You know my nurse Janie? The one with the blonde hair and huge breasts?

The man says, “Yeah…. what about her?

The doctor replies, “I’m sleeping with her!”

Russell, I’m praying for you. I hope you’ll keep us updated.

And I don’t believe that’s any way for a doctor to start out a conversation like that.

It reminds me of a joke (if you’re in the mood for a joke). The doctor told him “I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. The good news is you only have 6 months to live.” The patient responded, “Well, what’s the bad news, then?” The doctor said, “I should have told you 5 months ago!”

That is definitely a poor choice of words from a dr’s office. Hang in there at least it is not cancer, chronic or some other dread disease. Good luck, keep the air full of saw dust!

My thoughts are with you Russ. Not only does being out of commission stink, but if you’re the A-type personality I suspect you are ;) , the loss of control is equally frustrating.

Hang in there,
