New Doctor

I’ve been going to the same doctor for over twenty years. Since I have moved, I had to find a new doc. It was time for my annual exam.  It is something to dread every year.  Being a male, they have to check your prostate gland. Someone needs to discover a new way to get that done, rather than the way they do it.

I always mention to the doctor that plumbers and proctologist don’t bite their finger nails. Doctors don’t have a sense of humor.

The new guy is nice but, he is really a country doctor. One of my concerns was about a cut I had that is slow to heal and a pain I have in my right shoulder. He told me about some liniment I could get at the local feed store.  He assured me that it works on horses. That’s country.

His exam rooms are at street level with head in parking just a sidewalk away. He doesn’t pull the blinds down during an exam. This caused me to wonder what kind of patients he was used to treating. One does have to get undressed for an exam, so I did. That meant anyone could see a grumpy old man naked. The parking lot was full and there were people walking by. I don’t know if any one did see me. But after a few minutes, I did glance out the window and noticed the parking lot was empty.

Now they know why I don’t look into the mirror when I get out of the shower.
