Not that bad.
But one is asked to suspend disbelief more than is reasonable.
I still can't look away.

When our GP doc retired my wife wanted a woman to replace him which we found. Women doctors are less dismissive of women's symptoms.
People like you hold up traffic when there's a crash on the road.

I figure they probably are too. One thing I don't know yet is in the past, when it comes to very private issues, I've preferred a male doctor. However with me transitioning, who knows, that could change.
Not in traffic.
Unless a starship crashed, I strive for smooth traffic flow.
My GP is a woman, and I prefer that, typically. This guy was an urgent care doctor, but I had a deep appreciation for him in particular. Years previous, my son had a staph infection. I could tell it was, but no doctor would test the site of the wound because I, a mere client, dared tell them what I thought it was. They would tell me just to watch it. 6 months later, and 5 doctors in(non of which would test), I walked into an urgent care crying. The stupid site kept swelling. No one would take it seriously. The good doctor took a peek, said "I think you might be right. That could very well be staph. Let me test it for you". It was. We got an antibiotic. That was that. (And the nurse aided me in finding a decent GP for the kids.)
I think in the case with this UTI, my heart was beating so hard you could see my chest vibrating. Even when the test results came back he said "I'm still worried for your heart." He insisted I take my heart med and check in with my cardiologist(which I did). I think he just cared.

A discussion I had with someone awhile back was what crowds they fit into on RF. I'm still finding myself, but one crowd that was kind of mentioned was the Games forum crowd - @Revoltingest , @sun rise , and several others. Maybe that's where I kind of fit in as I was pretty excited to see some of you when I got back, to the point of being a bit "playful". Although I'm trying to focus a bit more on "funny stories" these days than jokes.

That'd be something... a kat used as a scratching post.
Can I borrow him?
Old drunken diabetic fingerless neighbor has had one beer too many and is mad because we won't park our van on another block. He is, after all, supposed to have groceries delivered. (Not sure I see the connection between a vehicle parked in the street and him opening a door to receive some bags, but I'm certain he's too drunk to make sense at this point.)
Wondering what authorities he'll call in on us this time. My husband's guess is code enforcement. He's out front making sure everything is in good order.

I think I'll have a donut.
What kind?

Oh, right. I forgot to say.
It's chocolate donuts with a lot of body to them. Not quite cake donuts, but not quite piles of pure sugar either.
I like the candy covered ones from Kwik Star. I don't eat them often, though. They give me a belly ache(understandably so).

Wow. It could be worse though. You could spend the afternoon seeing all the bacon and haggis posts.
