Lah-de-dah (or I Know It All)
by Cathlyn CartierHey, Hey, look at me!
I went to Med. School and
got my M.D.
Woohoo! Doesn't it show?
There isn't a thing
that I don't know.
Whoopie!{sarcastically}
You'll never be
smarter than me!
Why should I listen
as you detail your ails?
My intellect is supreme!
Can't you tell?
So Lah-de-dah
here's your bill {$75 for 5 minutes of my time, and the minimum of one hour you spent in my waiting room}
and a half-dozen prescriptions to have filled. 12/03/2003 Author's Note: Yes, this is angry! Composed after I spoke with my son's Dr. about his meds. If you're that curious and can stand the scathing heat of a rant, check out my latest journal entry.

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/04/03 at 02:01 AM Actually I thought it only mildly sarcastic! You make your point! I understand perfectly. I spent about 15 minutes in the dentist's office. He checked a chipped tooth and put in a temporary filling (going to have to have a crown). $80 latter I had a filling that lasted a couple of hours maybe!!! Hopefully I get something a little more permanent Monday after they take the mold for the crown. Then in Jan. go back for the crown to be cememted in at a cost of well over $700. So I hear you loud and clear! LOL! |
