| Dr. Whaite A. Whyle |
I arrived promptly for my 12noon appointment with Dr. Whaite
A. Whyle, for my E.M.G.: which is like an E.E.G. without brains. Dr. Whyle is
looking for the cause of all the back pain today may become a defining moment.
As I enter the reception area, the young lady behind the
counter greets me and being a college graduate I respond by saying: “Hi, my
name is Joe Del Bloggolo”. This seems kind of lame to me so I add something
really intelligent so she knows whom she’s dealing with. “Yes, I’m here to see
Dr. Whyle.” (First impressions are very important!)
Her: “Oh, I see you are here for an E.M.G.!”
“Why yes I am, but WHAT is an E.M.G.?”
Her: “Well, it’s a … what they do is… they get these needles
and…”
“Needles?”
Her: “Yes well they do like acupuncture and…”
“Needles! Acupuncture? I didn’t know Dr. Whyle is Chinese!
You wait for me to get here to tell me this? How big are these needles???”
Suddenly I hear a voice from behind me. A lady sitting with
her husband pipes up: “Oh, it doesn’t hurt, the needles are very thin. The
doctor will stick them in your legs all over”
As I walk to a seat, across from the couple she continues:
“I remember when they were big fat needles, they used to hurt! Now they are so
thin…”
“You know Ma’am, I would have paid for that information!”
