Happiness

Happiness is hearing nothing but good words at your annual physical exam.

Doctor Fool

My doctor said, “You are in pretty good shape for a 62-year-old man.”  I thanked him.  Then he looked at the chart (actually computer) again.  “Oh, you’re 75.”  I smiled.

Now if my dentist was that kind to me . . .  But then, it’s not his fault.

  1. Who cares how old he thinks you are…as long as he says your health is good…that’s all we care about! 😉

    Glad you had good news.

      • Yes, I recognized him. Sometimes when sleep hasn’t overtaken me I watch a midnite rerun of “The A Team.” Actually often more fun than the glitzy high-tech productions of today. Example: Murdoch drives an auto through the wall of a building, glass and stone flying everywhere, car comes to rest in the lobby, not a scratch on it. Good times.

        • I used to love the A Team. For the same reasons that you do.
          Also, I still prefer the b & w movies from the 40s and 50s. The good ones relied on the a coherent story and good acting.
          Okay I also love the New Zealand scenery from Peter Jackson and company’s Hobbit and Lord of the Rings epics.
          Documentaries on the cosmos with modern images have shown us a mind blowing picture of the universe. Love the pictures from Hubble and the other photographic missions like Cassini. It’s an exciting time. We’ll talk more later.

  2. This short story about a doctor not knowing the age of his patient made me think a little about the medical profession as it stands today. Are there too few doctors to meet the needs of our citizens? What can we do about it?
