Not to imply that everything on this blog couldn't be filed under a category of that sort, but . . . look, I know, I know, I should probably read up on this and figure out the who-what-when-where-why, particularly the "Why Should I Care?" part, but I'll have to quit cracking up at the name first:
Togo's armed forces said Faure Gnassingbe, the son of former president Gnassingbe Eyadema, will assume power in the West African country following the death of his father earlier on Saturday.I'm sorry, and you can throw me in Having-No-Respect-for-Other-Cultures prison for saying it, but I can't quit hearing that name as a patient's chief complaint, i.e.:
CHIEF COMPLAINT:I'm thinking perhaps needle aspiration and cool compresses, but then, I just type it, I don't treat it. Posted by Ilyka at February 5, 2005 11:17 PM in navel gazing
1. Gassy knee.
2. Eye edema.
Gassy knee...
Uncomfortable images forming. I wonder how one would relieve such pressure. Toe farts? Heh.

Posted by: Dr Alice at February 7, 2005 08:51 PMI'm looking for a Primary Care physician; Dr. Alice, I wish you were in MY area. I have found that too few doctors have a good sense of humor. Was it pounded out of them during residency? Personally, I think a lot of them had humorectomies done about third year - when they were finally seeing the light at the end of the cash cow.
And since nothing in the rest of this comment makes sense --
What do you call the guy who finishes LAST in medical school?
Doctor.
And with that, I'm off to deal with my beloved attorneys. *blink*
