Report to "Radiology" for "Chest X-rays."
Funny enough...the last time I went to get chest X-rays when I was sick, my doctor was out of town and this doctor I'm seeing today was taking his patients.
He was none too happy with me when I walked into his office and sat down. I was ashen, slightly perspiring and could barely talk. I had just survived a weekend bout with strep throat but, for some reason, did not feel "well" or "recovering."
This doctor (Dr. Shedd, as in "Shedd Spread"!) looked at me and said, "Well, you've got a cold. What do you expect ME to do about it?"
I felt no urge to bitchslap him, so I said, "I expect you to make sure I haven't missed something in trying to combat this thing. I should be feeling better, but I'm not."
He ordered an X-ray...and 20 minutes later butter would have melted within a 10-foot radius of him. He was all warmly solicitous of me and my condition...and the pneumonia he prescribed medications for...and the order to stay home from work for at least a week.
