Oldie but goody

Posted: Sep 19, 2013

I was transcribing for an Irish dermatologist - he was quite a dufus and very nimble fingered. One day he had a very cranky patient who fussed about everything, nothing would suit her, and every time he explained something to her she said, "I'll have to call my husband and talk to him first." Finally, she agreed and he removed a nevi, only while he was trying to put that in the specimen jar for pathology - he dropped it! So the doctor said, "My nurse and I looked all over the office, even on the floor unable to find the specimen. When we informed the patient she wanted to call her husband." I pictured the two of them looking around frantically like they had lost a contact lens. I said to myself,"Wait a minute . . . this story sounds familiar. I think I know this story . . . (Music plays) "With a Nick-Nack Patty Quack, give the Hag a phone, her old mole went rolling home." ;
