silly story two

"The Story of the Unapologetic Boob"

On Tuesday morning a secretary from my doctor's office called me about a CT scan of my head I had recently undergone.

I explained that I had never had a CT scan performed on my head nor any other part of my body.

She then proceeded to accuse me of having undergone the procedure and declared the name of the CT scan specialist I had undergone the procedure with.

When I told her I had never heard of the doctor, she did not believe me, perhaps thinking that memory loss prompted the procedure in the first place. She asked me my name and when I confirmed that it was indeed Elaine, she became convinced that I was batty.

"You came in on July 25 for an office visit."

"I haven't seen my doctor since 2006."

"But you came in and we referred you for a CT scan with Dr. [So-And-So]."

"I don't know who Dr. [So-And-So] is and I never came into your office on July 25. I was home."

"Our records show you were here on July 25."

"Your records are wrong. I was never there. Are you sure you're looking at the right patient chart? Or maybe you made the entry in the wrong chart?"

"Your name is Elaine [This-And-That]?"

"Yes."

"Is your birthday [blah-blah]-1954?"

"No. My birthday is [blah-blah-blah]."

"Oh. Hold on. Um. Sorry. Bye."
