Well, if so, you know what time it is. It’s time to get a new doctor!

My doctor of 42 years asked how I was doing? I told him without, he said you’re 67, I asked will it get better? He said no. I told him, “ I pay you for this”? He said I could lie to you but I’ll still send you a bill.

It will be required of doctors and nurses when we have single payer health care.

A lot of things will be required. You will be told who your doctor is, when you get to see him/her and how often. Don't get a terminal illness between visits.

The only concern my doc might have about “climate” is the temperature in his office.

Then Howard turns to Rice with a question she didn't encounter in medical school: "Can I ask you: Last summer, why was it so hot?"

Rice, who studies air pollution, is ready.

"The overall trend of the hotter summers that we're seeing (is) due to climate change," Rice says, "and with the overall upward trend, we've got the consequences of climate change."

What a buncha hooey.

My Doctor agrees that it’s largely bullshit. What was the climate like when dinosaurs were around? When Lucy was around?

No! My doctor is not an idiot.

After all, he spent years studying how living human bodies work not failed computer models of human bodies.

Men over 50.

The influx of women under 40 into medicine has made the old docs’ lounge pretty progressive these days.

Yes, apparently. Our pediatrician had this tendency to want to be “alone” with our children, but my wife and I never let her. The kids were prepared, though, for an invasive or private questions.

Probably not. They are just going about it from a different angle.

sorta on topic - I have to submit to biometric screening to save $600/year on insurance thru work. I’ve decided this year - it’ll be on their time - my way. I will not fast/starve myself for the appt on location - I don’t care what the numbers are. (I do have a doctor who poo-poos the fasting part of blood work.)

The hotter it gets the more you need your Guns.

Heat makes the crazies even crazier.

Thank goodness while growing up I only experienced constant 72 degree days and there was no need for my Parent’s to ever use the Air Conditioner or Heater... #;^)
