High Horses and Low Horses

March 21st 2008 21:13
I think the medication has finally kicked in. So it should. I took a whole packet of anti-depressants this morning. And just sat around waiting for them to work. got to the stage where I had to wash my thyroid tablets down with brandy.

Doctors are strange. They say things like, "You shouldn't drink or smoke." inter alia et al & etc. Well, perhaps we shouldn't breathe because it's dangerous for our health? Doctors? I tell you. They sit there and charge $50 for a five minute visit. If I was getting paid $50 every five minutes to tell people how to look after their health, I wouldn't have any health problems.


Where was I? Oh that's right. High horses.

If one more person gets on their high moral horse, I hope the horse dies, or does its fetlock while it's jumping a fence. And the rider dies. And the horse gets up and snorts and galllops away.

I'm buying a pony. I'm going to ride my low moral horse.

On Orble the high horse stable is very crowded.

Damo,

Then I'll set the pony amongst the horses, since there are no cats and pigeons on here?

i totally agree with you about doctors, the visits are so short and they rarely know anything about anything . . . they are a contradictory bunch!

Morgan,

It's nice to find someone on Orble who agrees with me about something.

I miss the good old days when my GP would smoke while he did my pap smear. Or offer me a Glenfiddich Scotch while we had a chat about the state of my vagina, and he did a thorough probe. And gave me detailed feedback. And had a bit of a joke with me. And said things like, 'Would you like to handle my thermometer?' How times have changed. I don't envy a pretty young thing like you having to grow up in this modern world amongst contradictory doctors.

Ann.
