Patient dialogue

[ccrawford]

Well - Evil sister is not feeling funny, Ross is busy with his administrative duties - somebody had to lighten things up. There were two young boys sharing a hospital room. One looks over at the other and asks "Whatta you in for" "tonsils" was the reply. "Oh thats not so bad. They put you to sleep, you wake up with a really sore throat, but you get lots of ice cream" "Oh really, that doesn't sound so bad- thanks. By the way, what are you in for." "Circumcision" was the reply. "Ohmygod you're in trouble" said the roommate. "I had that done when I was born and I couldn't walk for a year"

A true story - when I was 24 and my daughter was 4, we both had our tonsils out the same day and were in the same room. When she came to, she ate ice cream; I ate nothing. We went home next day to my mother's. She asked mother for grits with cheese and toast - and actually ate it with gusto. I ate nothing - seemingly for weeks. Oh, how an adult tonsil patient suffers. You think you will die or wish you could! I went to work within about 4 days and one main part of my job was answering the phone for an office of MANY so had to talk a lot. Oh, my! Pain.........pain........ If you are grown up and the subject comes up, live with it.
