Once Again, The Cloud Looms Close

PATIENT: "Doctor, doctor! It hurts when I pee!"
DOCTOR: "Looks like,Urine, a heap a trouble boy."

Remember why I said I hate going to see the doctor? Hmmm? My numbero uno complainto was the fact every visit seems to result in him finding some excuse to shove another instrument inside my body through any opening natural or otherwise.

This time I must go in a week or so to get a scope shoved down my throat to look at why my throat feels like it's closing up. I'm running out of openings. What next? An octopus device covering it all at one time? Oh well. It's for keeping tabs on my health so grin and bare it. It's not like it's never been done, or a serious procedure. Anyway - there is some concern because of my acid reflux thingy and that stuff can screw a person over big time sometimes leaving thickening scars to cancerous growths. Since I have no real pain (yet?) I think or at least hope I can rule out cancer.

Maybe I shoulda tried the "DOCTOR! DOCTOR! It hurts when i do this" routine, eh? He's not really that bad a doctor I guess. I've had really bad doctors before but lets save that for the Geraldo Revera show. (fat chance of that one coming back, eh?).
