Update:

Lately, my life has been filled with medical appointments.  I’ve been receiving great care and often get follow-up calls from the medical staff in case I have questions or concerns.  All of my medical treatments and care are done within the Mayo Health Care System.  Yesterday, I missed a call and later listened to the voice mail that was left.  It went something like this…  “Hi! This is ‘Sue’ from the Mayo Health Care System.  Just wanted to see how you were doing and if you had any questions or concerns after your last visit with us….”  She never identified the doctor or department she was calling me for.  I just started laughing because I could think of three different departments that the call could have possibly been from; but I have no clue which one it was. 



I was reminded of the Jeff Foxworthy “You MIGHT be a redneck, if…” comedy routine.  In my case, “You MIGHT be a medical junkie, if…you get a message from ‘the doctor’s office’ and you don’t know which one it’s from.”  LOL.


Since I’ve recently retired, I’ve realized that I hardly get any phone calls anymore except from medical staff setting up an appointment or calling me with a test result.  “You MIGHT be a medical junkie, if…the phone rings and you wonder, ‘Which doctor is calling me now?’”  LOL.
