...And also more fun at the doctors
So, my primary care doc is amazing. Not only is he also my cardiologist, but he is absolutely hilarious! Here's a recent sample of such an exchange after politicking about health care and our ancestral lands. I'll be paraphrasing and substituting a few details to protect identities.
Me: 'I was looking into dual citizenship for Egypt, but their health care seems pretty backwards. I dunno if I'd be able to get citizenship through Turkey, cuz that's three generations back.'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'That whole part of the world is pretty backwards, but Turkey isn't as bad.'
Me: 'Yeah, that's what I've heard. They seem to be the most progressive.'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'The people there were great. I passed through Egypt and didn't much like it- they didn't have a great attitude so I didn't stick around long.'
Me: 'That sucks, I'm sorry.'
Dr.Heart-Strings: 'Yeah and I didn't really have much interest in seeing anything there. I'm a doctor! I don't want to see dead people, I treat the living!'
I begin to crack up at this point, but there's more...
Dr.Heart-Strings continues: 'They're prostitutes! I mean, they call them ''mummies'', but they're still selling their bodies!'
At this point I'm laughing quite hard, but he continues!
Dr.Heart-Strings: '...and then they call it halal!'
I couldn't take it anymore and neither could he--we burst out in raucous laughter and tears of hilarity.
Truly a great man! As they say, 'laughter is the best medicine.' He definitely fills that rx every time, and he's got a million of 'em!
More to come from him in future posts,
but that's all for now!
