The following anecdotes were provided by one of my most adored clients, whose name happens to rhyme but will be withheld for the time being...well, probably forever. Let's call him Snazzy MD. Snazzy MD was outlining some of the woes of working with people who may have not taken education as seriously as others and/or are heavily medicated with preparations often on sale in many NYC parks.
One day Snazzy MD was having a terrible time getting one of his subjects to provide a clean urine specimen, for reasons beyond needing further explanation. He handed her some iodine and explains that he wants her to apply it to her labia to clean the area before collecting the specimen. She goes into the restroom only to return moments later proudly holding a cup of pee and a big red face smeared with iodine...to her credit "Labios" means lips (on the face) in spanish, potentially the reason why she opted to apply iodine to her face and not those parts where the sun don't shine.
Another time, Snazzy MD gave one of his patients some suppositories to help relieve the sufferer of some constipation. I'm sure this constipation was certainly from lack of fiber in their diet and definitely not from popping vicodin like tic tacs... Anyway, the patient leaves with the suppositories and follows up a few days later with complaints that the suppositories didn't work very well and TASTED HORRIBLE! Perhaps it wasn't made clear that you don't swallow suppositories...
I hope you enjoyed these stories as much as I did. I had the pleasure of enjoying them over a calamari appetizer.
