SUNDAY:
“Whitney, this is Dr. B------ I am calling to let you know that you have Strep throat and a severe case of Mononucleosis. You should be feeling better in 8-15 weeks.”
TUESDAY:
“Whitney, this is Dr. B------, your other test results came back. It looks like your liver enzymes are elevated which could be the mono, or it could be auto immune liver disease. You also tested positive for Lyme disease, and your ANA test (tests for rheumatologic diseases like lupus) came back positive. You need to see a rheumatologist.”
WEDNESDAY:
“Whitney, this is Dr. ‘He-who-shall-not-be-named’.”
Seriously??? Haven’t you done enough!
“Normally I wouldn’t give this kind of news over the phone, but I am leaving town tomorrow for a week, and this couldn’t wait……”
Words you NEVER want to hear...from ANYONE... (unless, of course, it was Michael Buble calling to let you know that he did feel the connection at the concert last March and he knows you are meant to be together)
Wait a minute…the only other test he ran was…
“Your HIV test came back….it was positive. Here is the name of an infectious disease specialist. I am so sorry.”
And people wonder why I don’t answer the phone.
