Strung Out
...so I break my ####ung thumb on wednesday night basketball, right? At least I'm pretty sure.
Next AM, yesterday, I call the ortho people who fix me when I'm broke. I'm known.
I say 'hey, thumb, maybe broke, fit me in?'
She; "Have you been to the er and gotten x rays?"
'No, it's not an emergency. It's my thumb. I'd like you guys to x ray it and do what needs to be done.
"well, we're booked soild. If you'd already been to the er and gotten x rays we could fit you in right away..."
"Look, I understood you do things the way you do but I am not going to the er for my thumb. What can you do?"
"Well...if you had..."
"Right, when can you see me?"
Can you be here by 9:30 friday?"
"Fabulous! You are an outstanding human being, see you then!"
Strange world.
ER. For my thumb. My ####ing broken thumb. Broken thumbs to the front of the line!
