I made my doctor laugh

Tweet

I want to say that I am so thankful for my primary care physician. She listens, values me as a person, and has a great sense of humor. I was not trying to make her laugh, she could just see the total irony in a situation. This is the first I had been able to discuss the clinical trial I am in. I got to discuss with her what few little symptoms I have had, including being queasy the following morning after my first injection. If you do not follow me or see my posts regularly I will recap briefly. I am in a clinical trial for an injectable medicine for weight loss and diabetes. The day of the first injection I had been fasting for about twelve hours when all was said and done. The clinic is in the same parking lot as a Village Inn Restaurant. My appointment was on a Wednesday. Wednesday is free pie day, if you order a meal. I was too full to eat my pie but took it home. I told the doctor that I was mildly queasy that first morning, because I had eaten my pie for breakfast. It is very ironic that a down home cooking restaurant shares the parking lot with a clinic where they are doing a clinical trial, and I had pie for breakfast the next day. We laughed about many other things that day, as I had just had a rough day full of minor annoyances. I needed the laugh. (Annoyances like locking my keys in the car, and spilling my hot coffee on myself. She asked if I at least got to enjoy SOME of the coffee.) All ended well that evening and I had some good and bad on my labs. She sent me to have some extra labs drawn that I do not normally have. I feel pretty blessed. She suspects that I have some level of medication, and not the placebo, based on those very light symptoms. Plus I am down about four pound from the last time I saw her. We (Bob and I) like our doctor a lot.
