Some of my patients wear real clothes to see me, but others wear this..
Which means when they ride the bike, I have to find a sheet to put over their legs.
"Honey, I'm 82! I don't care who sees me!"
But everybody else does.
So, it was surprising to me to find out how much my patients care when they have a doctor's appointment.
Patient: "When is it?"
Me: "Sometime today."
Patient: "When are they picking me up?"
Me: "Sometime today."
Patient: "I need to shower! I need clean clothes! I need a razor to shave my legs!"
I pick up your leg every day. You don't need to shave for me?
It appears this is how they think the world is set up:
"I only wear bras to the doctor and to church."
Seriously, somebody actually said that exact phrase to me yesterday. With no prompting. Awesome.
