Oh, Lucky Me :P

Okay, so I’m a little behind on my post… go figure. This stupid cold has been kicking my butt for the past few days and it’s driving me nuts! 😛 I managed to “by pass” this cold all through pre-Christmas  and Christmas (my mom and her boyfriend both had it) and I thought I was home free by the time New Year’s Eve rolled around… boy was I wrong. I swear it hit me like a boulder the next day. Oh, lucky me.

So, today was supposed to be a post about PaperBackSwap and BookMooch obviously that’s not happening… so I’m gonna push that to tomorrow along with pushing the other days I had planned a day later as well. So I”ll announce the days at the end of this post.

So my post today is gonna be about doctors. Oh, how I hate doctors with a passion. I know hate is such a strong word, but I really feel like using that word right now because I feel I have a right to. You wanna know why… okay sure I’ll tell you why.

Every time I go to the doctors (which I rarely do-and only do when I’m REALLY sick) we go through the regular “check-up” stuff, like the ear, throat, chest check, etc. and then the doctor asks me, “So, how long have you been sick?” and I answer, “Well, about (always a few days never more then a week).” Then the doctor decides to tell me, “You, haven’t been sick long enough for me to give you a prescription.” or “You’re cold/flu hasn’t developed enough for you to get a prescription.”

Now after the doctor says either of those statements to me I have to most confused look on my face. I honestly wanna ask the doctor (but I don’t) “Why on earth would I want my cold/flu to “DEVELOP” more if I came here to get better in the first place?!”

So instead I ask, “Well, how long do I have to be sick for?” The doctors answer, “At least a week if not more.” So, I leave the doctors office still sick and without a prescription to get any medicine to feel better. Plus, the waist of gas doesn’t make me happy either. What have I learned from my past visits…

HELLO over-the-counter medicine. Now I’m so immuned to most of this stuff that it hardly works half the time so I either A) Wait and suffer with my cold/flu for over a  week OR lie about how long I’ve been sick to the doctor…

My question of the day…

Has this ever happened to you? I honestly gotta know if my doctor’s office is the only one with wierdo doctors in it.

What to expect the next few days…
