Wednesday's Digressions

• Yesterday (05032013) our Xray tech was showing me his new camera in my office. During our conversation his phone rang. Saying, Here you can check it out. I need to go answer that. he left the camera in my care. That is a big mistake for you to make if you're my friend- unless you're into pictures of my butt, the pelican carving in my window, the little man and woman symbol on the bathroom door, my nursing buddies flowers, a close up of the study nurses eye, a close up of a vision chart...
• Recently a patient I knew to be a little off but mostly harmless caught me off guard. He said, You know that disease where turn from black to white? Thinking he meant vitiligo I said to the effect,"You mean the pigment disease where the skin lightens in places? He replied, Yeah, the pigment disease. My daddy had it. Shoot, my granddaddy had it- we all have it. One minute we're black the next we're Chinese, then we'll turn back black. Then one day we wake up whiter than you. The next day we might be Chinese- with the slanty eyes and all. Its hard. Its tough. Its a trip.
• I'm sure it is my friend.
• My children I believe must be watching a lot of TV when they're not around me. They beg for it here and turn into instant vegetables when I turn it on.
• A hard thing for people to get: just because a TV is present in a home doesn't mean it has to be on.
• Drop Dead Fred has been added to Netflix. I wonder how well it has aged?
• Well very often comes out as weel for me.
• Most people I encounter who believe in conspiracy theories aren't very well put together psychologically or emotionally in my opinion. They also tend to be poorly educated.

  

  Rock bottom- you'll know when you get there.
