Moab Bit & Tool Co., Inc. is a Valued WWDR Advertiser. The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” So here’s more idiots in profession. Remember, any quotes are just anonymous remarks by no one famous - just general statements. Medicine: • “Not me, but my husband. He was prepping for quadruple bypass surgery and the doctor's notes included administering a pregnancy test. We had a good laugh about it and when the nurse came in, we pointed it out, laughing. She didn’t find it humorous and said if the doctor ordered it, she had to administer it. She was dead serious. I demanded she get the charge nurse and finally the test was removed from his file.” • “After three weeks of suffering from what I thought was the flu and taking over-the-counter meds, I made my way to the doctor. He informed me all I had was a mild head cold. It felt a lot worse than that, and I told him so. His response was, 'Nonsense. Go home, take a nice hot shower, climb into bed, have some chicken noodle soup, and keep taking the overthe-counter meds.' Within a week, my so-called head cold had turned into a nasty case of bronchitis. I was sick as a dog for six more weeks. By the time I saw another doctor, she said it was borderline pneumonia.” Travel: Sometimes, we have every right to whine about what befalls us during our dream holiday - flight delays, gritty hotel rooms, hidden fees. • “No one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared.” • “I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes.” • “We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white, but it was more yellow.” • “There was no sign telling you that you shouldn’t get on the hot air balloon ride if you’re afraid of heights.” I’ll save government because there are far too many examples and it will take me some time to find the best (worst) ones.
