Yes, people really can be THAT stupid.

If you know me, you know I hate going to the doctor. However, I require prescription medicine to manage my chronic pain. So, I reluctantly go twice a year. I was there last month, and I always wind up leaving there, feeling like the "doctor" I see, just got out of medical school and like to spout facts at me like they are talking from a text book. And, then there was today.... oh, today.... A bit after five pm, I get a phone call. My phone announced it as being One Family (the doctor's office I go to). They claimed to need to update my records. Knowing I was going to have a conversation with someone who lived on stupid pills, I braced myself for the worst. Sure enough, they did not disappoint. Nurse: Do you have any chronic illnesses? Me: yes. Nurse: Do you need to make an appointment to be seen? Me: No. Nurse: Do you have any chronic illnesses? Me:.... yes, they don't magically disappear. No. I am not physically feeling ill at the moment, therefore I don't need to be seen. Nurse: okay, that's what I was asking.... Me:.... Yep. What doctor's office calls patients when they're supposed to be closed? Or, asks questions like that? I have no words.
