A little humor...

Sarah Lillie's Top 10 Reasons You Might Be a Medical Junkie

10. You send birthday and Christmas cards to the receptionist at your surgeon's office
9. You have a song you wrote that goes to the on-hold music at your doctor's office phone 
8. When you get taken back to your exam room, you think, "Hey, this isn't my regular room!"
7. When a new issue pops up, you have no idea which of your 5 doctors offices to call first.
6. But you don't have to look up any of those numbers because you have them all memorized.
5. When someone answers the phone at your doctor's office and they don't identify themselves, you know which receptionist you are talking to and ask them about their kid/dog/husband/lunch that day.
4. You have to explain your past medical procedures to your doctor examining you, as they are not sure what it is.
3. You can tell the nurse, "no, this vein doesn't give much, but this one in my left hand is good, but careful when you pull the needle out as I am a bleeder."
2. You find the rhythm of an MRI soothing, and you wrote a song called MRI Lullaby that you sing while you are in one... And you are thankful when the most complicated test ordered is "just an MRI".
1. In the middle of the night, you don't need to turn on your light to figure out which medicine bottle you need... You can just shake and know your pills "by sound."

If you can't laugh...
