    I always consult a live diarrhea (as opposed to dead diarrhea) for assistance with reading material. LOL!

    I had a doctor who was "treating my white count with family". Not only was the doctor not an oncologist but my family had nothing to do with them. This is the same doctor who I had 2 surgeries with: in the first paragraph he wrote I hadn't had surgery more than a year ago and then in the 4th he said I did have surgery more than a year ago. LOL His notes were a riot, I had the best time sending in corrections. His response was that 'there might have been a few typos but everything was correct'. He also wrote that I made a cake for him and his partner. He has a wife, he meant the other doctor in the practice. Another time he said he likes peanut butter cookies ... LOL ...
