Today I learned that I am more adept at first aid and diagnosis than the pa at my local emergentcy clinic. (TGINS thank god it's not serious) Only I don't have ready access to 'caine type painkillers.

"we'll just do an xray to be sure you didn't hit the bone" = would you like another round of drinks or dessert?"

me: "I can live without the xray, I'm pretty sure I'd know if I hit the bone" = I'm paying for this out of pocket, let's not inflate the bill with a bunch of useless frills intended to compensate for insurance comapnies who only pay you 40 cents on the dollar."
