Crazy Is As Crazy Does
As I keep ‘on a sayin, I really have the coolest, most fascinating job. The things that I see and do on a daily basis are profoundly strange at times. And whilst I am “used” to the strangeness of my job, I still have approximately 8 billions times a day, where I think, “WOW, that’s just so cool!”
I truly wish HIPAA didn’t prevent me from sharing all the stories. While HIPAA is obviously incredibly important, I just have all these things that I want to say, but can’t! But I will give a HIPAA friendly example of what I mean about my job:
Patient: I think you need to examine my roommate.
Me: Okay, why do you think that?
Patient: Well I think she’s actually a hermaphrodite.
Me: Okay, why do you think that?
Patient: Because she always leaves the toilet seat up after using the bathroom.
Me: Okay, well I can understand that, but there are other reasons why this could be happening.
Patient: I seriously doubt that! She’s a hermaphrodite, and you’re the doctor. Examine her right now or I’m not taking my meds!
This is a meager example, but I hope you get the point. I love my job. And yes, I am just a little bit crazy for loving my job. And yes, I am just a little bit crazy for wanting to do what I do!
