Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 196: Spam, Spam, Spam

Its fine. Had to go to the doctor because 1) I didn't think my tetanus shots were up-to-date, and I essentially stabbed myself with a rusty piece of sheet metal. (Shots were good though, I forgot I got a booster before going to Colombia a few years ago). 2) There is no way this thing doesn't get infected as all hell, so I needed antibiotics, the doctor agreed. 3) I figured I'd need stitches, but the doctor said it was already sealed up and healing an hour after it happened, and something about I must be a wolverine, apparently wolverines heal fast? Also, she apparently doesn't like stitching dirty puncture wounds.
All of this. I would have been horrified if she stitched it. Unless they lavage and scrub that would be the biggest no-no!

Good Morning Lodge!

This doctor is probably my favorite that I've seen. I don't go to the doctor often, but this was the 3rd time this year already. I saw this same doctor when I had an inner ear infection in January. She told me "It might hurt like hell, and it is going to suck, but you have to fly to Vegas. I mean, its Vegas. If your ear drums burst, I'll fix you up when you get home. Take a ton of Sudafed and hope for the best." :p

Too many doctors that I have seen seem antisocial and standoffish, like it is an inconvenience to them that you are there. This doctor is the complete opposite, and it really leaves a good impression.

Anyone else wanna take this?

The wolverine comment was a comic book movie reference, dl.

The last couple doctors I have gone to, they have given up/don't practice the lecture mode. They tell you the pertinent info, and let you decide what you wanna do. Those are my favorite doctors. They treat you like an adult. Obviously, they ask if I smoke, and if so, how often. Previously, "Smoking is bad, you should stop, blah blah blah." Yeah, I know this. Now? They just say, "Well, you know the dangers, this could affect you later in life," and then drop the subject.
