Why I am a Bad Patient

I went to the doctor today. I don't like going to the doctor. I spend the days leading up to the appointment worried that I don't have enough symptoms and thinking, "Maybe I should cancel. I'm fine. I feel fine." Then I spend my time in the waiting room developing symptoms completely unrelated to my condition and thinking, "My face feels warm. Maybe I have a fever. Is that a chest pain? I think I just had a chest pain." By the time the nurse comes to get me, I'm lying flat on the floor bequeathing the contents of my purse to the geriatric patients waiting with me.

And have I mentioned how I hate health insurance companies? I do.

You make me laugh. Today I was thinking of you conducting a small symphony in your head. :)
