work story

(Since we're not hanging out today, Kat, here's a work story for you!)

One of my patients, a somewhat confused 80 year old Arabic man, proposed to me last night... It went something like this:

him: "Are you married?"
me: "No, I'm not."
him: "Would you like to be married?"
me: "Maybe someday."
him: "That is alright, I am not in any hurry!"
me: "Ok, I'm going to listen to your lungs now..."
him: "You see, I like you. You are beautiful. You are charming. And when you smile, you smile."
me: "Well, thank you. Why don't you try to get some sleep now..."

(It's not quite as good as the lady that thought I was trying to drown her because of whatever she "didn't do" with my alleged husband... Taking care of confused elderly folks is never boring, that's for sure!)

That is hilarious. I've had a few interesting proposals too. A man who's profession was a cat burglar and I had not even dated him. Then there were a few 3 and 4 year olds!!!

No, I didn't...good thing too, because the next night he kept glaring at me as if I was his worst enemy!
