Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for February 16, 2021

Oh, yeah!

Passionate and caring…

Nationalized medicine.

Don’t get old……or sick.

That’s OK, Sir. You don’t have any chronic conditions so we were not making any money off of you from referrals or more testing anyway.

Another unintended potential victim COVID restrictions?

Trying to make a vaccination appointment and no open spots. It will be awhile.

Reality is brutal.

Mid October, I found out I had throat cancer. That is after I had gone to 2 doctors (one a year previous) who had told me it was allergies and nothing to worry about. I will receive my first radiation treatment tomorrow. No wonder people die from cancer; the doctors have taken forever to get down to the treatment. Much of the delay has been due to their screw ups in scheduling tests. I finally started following up everything they say they have done. They consider me a pain in the ass; but it is their fault for not doing what they told me they would do. No one is going to worry about you like you will. When anyone pulls up my file now, they comment that it has a red “urgent” beside my name. The squeaky wheel…

If we wait long enough, we’ll all be dead.

Rather grim, but still hilarious!

And we’ll have to bill your estate for a missed appointment.

At least they are polite….

Argument no good. You can be dead a minute from now.

Or he could get a tele- appointment and have the doctor talk him through the procedure.
