Not-so-mighty Jo
I am so down & out. My throat is as sore as a bruise and my nose is running like a broken tap. Ggrrhh...You know what's the worst thing about being sick? Going to the doctor. It just doesn't make sense to have to drag yourself out of bed, out of the house and make your way to the doc. The torture doesn't even end there. You have to wait in line while the pharmacist calls out name after name. By the time you actually get to see the doc, you will be in a much worse state. (Hmmm...not necessarily a bad thing).
If I'm the Minister of Health, I'll make sure all doctors provide home services. Imagine this - With a dial of your phone, the doctor will be dispatched to your home, complete with the necessary medication, within 15 mins! That's what doctors should do, attend to the sick...
Having said all that, I'm actually quite thankful for my doctor. He is a very friendly and humble young lad who actually makes the effort to talk to me, not talk at me. Visits to his clinic are filled with subtle jokes and endless whining about how sick I feel. I'm glad that I am comfortable with my doctor because this makes my trip there a little less torturous =)
