Funny Story of the week
One day I answered the phone to help Daisy as she was busy on the other line. Immediately on the other end, a patient asked, "Dr. Vu?" Me (surprised someone recognized my voice so quickly): Hello? Patient: Dr. Vu? Is that you? Me: Maybe? Patient: Maybe, Dr. Vu? Me (recognizing the voice now): Yes, maybe Dr. Vu Patient: It's me, David. Me: David? Patient: Yes, David. Maybe, David? Me: What? (smiling now) Patient: No, wait. It's not maybe. It's definitely David. Me (laughing): What? Patient: It's definitely David. I need to see you soon. Me: Okay, when can you come in? Patient: After lunch. So the patient came in after lunch, sat down in the chair to show me his concern then turned to me and said, "Okay Maybe Dr. Vu, I'm Definitely David..." So funny. I have some of the funniest patients. I think I will have to call him Definitely David from now on. He has been my patient for over a decade. We have a long history together. A few years ago, he said some people have cigarette addition, alcohol dependency or waste their money on junk. Him, he just lacks proper dental hygiene at home so his "vice" is to pay me to clean his teeth every 2 months. Therefore, it's a "good" bad habit to have. Also, it's a good excuse not to floss or keep up with nightly home care (according to Definitely David.) Silly guy. here to edit. |
