1/13/14: Patient was in a strange mood when I had a routine consultation with him this evening. He studied my face closely then said: "I guess there's no way you would consider shaving off your beard? "No. I replied," It's part of my persona and suddenly appearing completely different might deeply disturb some of my patients."
"Oh well, said patient, "it was worth a try." He suddenly took on a more cheerful tone. "Michelle's coming back from Maui on Wednesday. So I won't need to have you staying over."
"Ms Jarrett is the one who controls my presence," I said, so perhaps a word with her is indicated?"
Personally, after several weeks, I will be glad to have a rest from the moron.---Dictated by S.H.Rink, M.D.
