Things you just don't get

This rather pedestrian histrionic semblance of discursive inebriation is best imbibed in a lugubriously chtonic quagmire... i.e. CE, P, and M. Or, horribile dictu, Streetwear and Denim.

How the hell do you pick a primary care provider? It feels so random.

I kind of want to pick this guy just based on his name... Dr. Outlaw.

I love my primary care doc.

 

[Biscotti]

She's beautiful.

primary care? i just got off the phone with my dr's office to find a new oncol, here's how that went:

me: i liked my old dr, is there anyone with a similar temperament?
admin: well there's so-and-so, former military and not aggressive...
... goes down list...
admin: there's dr. whozit, he's maybe a... (super long pause)... chauvinist. towards women.
me: ok, well i guess the military guy sounds good

I belong to One Medical, so I scheduled an annual physical with the doctor with the most convenient office and opening for my schedule. I liked my interaction with him, so he's now my PP. All things being equal, I prefer a male doctor.

I'm from the south and loved this expression growing up. "Colder'n a well digger's ass." Also "Colder'n a witches titty."

 

[Biscotti]

I've never heard the first; but, I sure did hear the second one there.

BTW, where the hell have you been? Are you still in the western part of the state I reside?

That witches' titty belongs in a brass brassiere. I grew up amongst the working class between the petro/chemical plants and swamps of southern Louisiana in the 1950s and early 60s. There weren't too many expressions we missed out on, English or French.

My primary care provider was my aunt while I was a kid, then when I moved away it was the university, then when I got a job a family friend was the RN for this doctor who became my primary care doc since. He’s going to retire in a few years and I will be well and truly fucked. Maybe I should try to die before he does.

Now I want to find a PCP named Angel, or maybe Dusty.

My wife had to interpret at a meeting in a hospital some years back and one of the doctors was named Killer.

How would you feel if you were being brought in to hospital and over the PA you heard: "Paging Dr Killer... Dr Killer to Emergency, please..."!?

"Colder'n a well digger's ass." Also "Colder'n a witches titty."

I've heard the latter, but never the former. Why would a well digger's backside be cold? Because it's damp down in a well?

A friend of mine is from New Hampshire and she sometimes says, "As happy as a clam". I asked her why clams are happy and she explained that the expression used to be "as happy as a clam at high tide" but that it's usually shortened.
