Sometimes I photoshop birds as a dinosaurs for fun.
First one made today, second one - year or two ago.
Nothing serious, just funny dinobirds.

living in the countryside really strikes the fear of god into you at the most random moments. you’ll just make eye contact with a cow or stare for too long into a brook and all of a sudden you’ll think something like “these are old bones and i am merely a passing occupant” and then you have to go and put the kettle on to cope

I saw a patient in my urgent care today – repeat visit, “sinus infection not getting better.” I had just seen her 6 days before, for a rather raging sinus infection, and had given her the Full Court Press: antibiotics for 10 days, oral steroids for 5 days, nasal steroids, sinus rinses, the works! Now she came back, quite upset that her sinus headaches and fever hadn’t improved at all. “The antibiotics weren’t strong enough,” she said. The prednisone (oral steroids) had “made her jittery after just one dose” (a side-effect she has had with prednisone before) so she had stopped those quickly. (Pay attention, these details turn out to be important in just a moment.)

I was quite concerned too, and her physical exam definitely indicated a sinus infection that wasn’t improving: fevers, face pain, the works. I came back into the room with a prescription for a much stronger (and more side-effect laden) antibiotic, and asked her to “stop the old antibiotic and start this one right away.”

“What do you mean, stop them? They already ran out,” she said.

I checked the date on my watch, to be sure I hadn’t accidentally time-traveled 5 days into the future. “How can that be? The antibiotics were for 10 days, and I saw you only 6 days ago.” She pulled her pill bottles out of her purse, and…

…and you guessed it. She had mistakenly stopped the antibiotics after just one dose, and continued the steroids until they were done 5 days later. Hey, surprise – your bacterial infection didn’t get better because you didn’t take the anti-biotic!

She was embarrassed, but she redeemed herself (in my eyes) by quickly putting 2 and 2 together and saying, “Well, then, my jittery feelings from prednisone must be all in my head, because I took 5 days of that without feeling weird at all!”

*Cue “Saturday-morning cartoon final-joke group laughter” all around*

Client: So I was trying to get a strawberry blonde from my stylist yesterday but I think she was having a bad time because it came out really orange.

Me: Well sometimes that happens. Well just throw a toner on it and cancel this orange out for you.

Client: thank you so much. I mean I get it because I got squeezed in right before she went to her grandfather’s funeral but still.

Me:……

Me:……

Me:……

Client: So like the lady I talked to on the phone earlier said you wouldn’t mind staying past your shift to fix my hair. 😊

Me: I think I understand what happened to your hair now.

Client: Huh?

Me: I said we’ll fix your hair!

That was a real conversation Aaaand this is what I mean when I say clients are entitled
